EAST experiments point to density free regime for fusion plasmas
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 03, 2026
Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized density-free regime for fusion plasmas, maintaining stable operation at densities that exceed conventional empirical limits. The results, reported in Science Advances on January 1, address a long-standing physical constraint on the path toward n
