A research on high-temperature and high-density plasma confinement by magnetic fields could help achieve fusion energy. Scientists have discovered a new confinement state of plasma which can lead to generate fusion energy. To create magnetic fusion energy, researches on high-temperature and high density plasma confinement using magnetic fields have been carried out all around the world. When plasma is heated to an extreme level hotter than Sun’s core, it releases excess energy which can be converted into electricity. Led by Dr. Xianzu Gong of ASIPP and Dr. Andrea Garofalo of General Atomics (GA) in San Diego, a team of U.S. and Chinese researchers tested a ‘high-bootstrap current’ scenario to find the ideal tokamak configuration for producing fusion energy. Tokamak is the most developed device so far which uses strong magnetic field to keep plasma away from the walls and the device is in the shape of a torus. The […]
