A recent milestone in nuclear fusion research has been achieved by SMART, the first tokamak to create plasma with negative triangularity. This unique configuration, where the curved part of the plasma faces the center, promises better suppression of instabilities and enhanced plasma performance, driving the fusion energy field forward.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
This breakthrough in achieving first plasma with negative triangularity indicates significant progress in fusion technology. The potential for enhanced plasma stability and performance can accelerate developments in energy sustainability and resource-efficient power generation, hoping for more efficient and practical applications in the future.
