The research team of Assistant Professor Masahiko Sato and Professor Yasushi Todo of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has succeeded using ...

In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in plasma physics research. In the past, large magnetic fusion experiments have made considerable progress, with theory often being subordinate and ...

Realization of digital-twin control by connecting Large Helical Device (LHD) (Toki, Gifu) located at NIFS and the Plasma Simulator supercomputer (Rokkasho, Aomori), jointly procured by NIFS and QST, ...

This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected through the supposedly last confinement surface into the divertor plasma region. The long and thin lobes ...
