Neutral Beam Coupling with Plasma in a Compact Fusion Neutron Source
Applied Sciences, 2022 FNS-ST is a fusion neutron source project based on a spherical tokamak (R/a = 0.5 m/0.3 m) with a steady-state neutron generation of ~1018 n/s. Neutral beam injection (NBI) is supposed to maintain steady-state operation, non-inductive current drive and ...

Energy confinement scaling in the NCST spherical tokamak [PDF]
AIP AdvancesEnergy confinement time τE and its scaling law in the NanChang Spherical Tokamak (NCST) are investigated based on experimental data from NCST campaigns, with a focus on their dependence on plasma current (IP), toroidal magnetic field (BT), and electron ...

In Situ Sintering Studies of Reactive Sintered Borides (RSB) Neutron Shielding Materials
Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Reactive sintered borides (RSBs) are a family of radiation‐dense materials made by powder metal processing and sintering of elemental precursors. Recent interest in RSBs has focused on their properties as high‐flux low‐activation thermal neutron absorbers for nuclear applications including fusion reactors.

The optimisation of the STEP electron cyclotron current drive concept
Nuclear FusionA fusion reactor based on the spherical tokamak is very likely to be completely non-inductive for the majority of the plasma ramp-up and steady-state phases, due to the limitations imposed on the central coil assemblies by the compact design.

Fluctuating Interfaces in Barotropic Beta‐Plane Turbulence
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Zonal jets manifest themselves as bands with sharp interfaces in the vorticity configuration. We develop an algorithm to track these fluctuating vorticity interfaces and systematically investigate their characteristic spatio‐temporal behaviors.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The nonlinear development of ballooning instability and the subsequently induced plasmoid formation in the near‐Earth magnetotail demonstrated in MHD simulations has been proposed as a potential trigger mechanism for substorm onset over the past decade, and their connections to the in situ satellite and ground all‐sky auroral optical ...

AI Magazine, Volume 47, Issue 1, Spring 2026.Abstract This article examines how data readiness for AI principles apply to large scientific datasets used to train foundation models. We analyze archetypal workflows across four representative domains—climate, nuclear fusion, life sciences, and materials—to identify common preprocessing patterns and domain‐specific constraints.
