A visible light tomographic imaging system has been developed for the collisional merging experiment of FRCs on the FRC Amplification via Translation–Collisional Merging device at Nihon University

Active fast ion charge exchange measurements using a neutral particle analyzer and multiple beam species in C-2W

October 2022 | S. Kamio | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper

In order to measure the fast ion using NPAs in the low neutral density core region of a magnetic confinement fusion device, active change exchange measurements are often performed using a NB as a CX target

Development of Rogowski probe for internal plasma current measurement in the collisional merging process of field-reversed configurations

October 2022 | J. Ogasawara (Nihon) | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper

To directly detect the spatial distribution of a plasma current during the collisional merging of two FRCs in the FAT-CM device, an internal current probe using Rogowski coils has been developed.

The Biological Theory That Explains Why Investors Are Bullish on Fusion

The Biological Theory That Explains Why Investors Are Bullish on Fusion

For a field that has existed for more than 60 years, a lot has happened in fusion research in the last half-decade. In fusion’s case, a trio of technological advances converged in the early 2010s to unleash a wave of innovation. “I think you see this beautiful inflection point in this field where the science maturity and technical capability come together,” said Michl Binderbauer, CEO of TAE Technologies.

ICIS 2023

ICIS’23 will be hosted by TRIUMF (www.triumf.ca), Canada’s Particle Accelerator Centre, and following the great experience hosting the virtual conference ICIS’21, we are excited to organize this in-person meeting.

The Frontrunners in the Trillion-Dollar Race for Limitless Fusion Power

The Frontrunners in the Trillion-Dollar Race for Limitless Fusion Power

With energy prices on the rise, along with demands for energy independence and an urgent need for carbon-free power, plans to walk away from nuclear energy are now being revised in Japan, South Korea, and even Germany. TAE’s approach, which involves creating a fusion reaction at incredibly high heat, has a key advantage.
