Demonstration of Super-X divertor exhaust control for transient heat load management in compact fusion reactors

Managing power exhaust in fusion reactors is a key challenge, especially in compact designs for cost-effective commercial energy. This study shows how alternative divertor configurations improve exhaust control, enhance stability, absorb transients and enable independent plasma regulation.

Integrating genetic subtypes with PET scan monitoring to predict outcome in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

The prognostic impact of genetic subtypes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (DLBCL-NOS) remains unclear. Here, the authors use data from multiple clinical trials to identify DLBCL-NOS genetic subtypes that are associated with patient outcomes, showing their potential value for prognostic stratification, trial design, and PET response monitoring.

Milestone in predicting core plasma turbulence: successful multi-channel validation of the gyrokinetic code GENE

Plasma turbulence is the main driver to deteriorate the performance of fusion power plants. This work presents an unprecedented comparison of plasma turbulence between experiment and simulation, proving that the gyrokinetic model GENE reached a high level of maturity to predict core turbulence.

Effect of energetic ions on edge-localized modes in tokamak plasmas

Edge-localized plasma modes in a tokamak can damage its innermost wall. Simulations now show that fast ions can modify the spatio-temporal structure of these modes. These effects need to be considered in the optimization of control techniques.

Observation of magnetic islands in tokamak plasmas during the suppression of edge-localized modes

The suppression of edge-localized modes in tokamak plasmas is crucial to prevent them from damaging the walls of the chamber. Now experiments confirm the role that magnetic islands play in suppressing these detrimental modes.

Divertor shaping with neutral baffling as a solution to the tokamak power exhaust challenge

Power exhaust is one of the biggest challenges stopping fusion energy. This article shows experimental evidence for strategically shaping the power exhaust region as a solution to this challenge, utilising physics understanding to strike a balance between engineering complexity and power exhaust benefits, consistent with reduced models and simulations.
