The study of material plasma exposure experiments and plasma‐material interactions is critical for advancing fusion energy research and the development of next‐generation plasma facing components.

Experts at the BELLA Center used dual laser beams focused onto a sheet of gas to reach a milestone energy in laser-driven electron acceleration. Four members of the larger team gathered with the ...

Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving ...

China’s latest advance with its so‑called artificial sun has pushed fusion plasma into a regime many physicists long treated as off limits, smashing through a density ceiling that had constrained ...

The physical concept of the density-free regime has been verified for the first time on EAST in this work. The EAST experiments combine control of the initial fuel gas pressure with electron cyclotron ...
