China’s latest experiments with its so‑called “artificial sun” have pushed nuclear fusion into territory many physicists long treated as a hard stop. By driving superheated plasma beyond a key density ...

China’s flagship fusion experiment has crossed a line that many physicists once treated as a hard stop, pushing plasma density beyond a limit that had constrained reactors for decades. By finding a ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The plasma density barrier is a mathematical limit to the density of plasma that can exist in a tokamak before destabilizing. A new study led by a ...
