Magnetic fields in the halo of the Milky Way have a toroidal structure, extending in the radius range of 6,000 light-years to 50,000 light-years from the galaxy center.

A new analysis of BL Lacertae by NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer sheds light on the emission mechanisms of active ...

Magnetic fields in the halo of the Milky Way have a toroidal structure, extending in the radius range of 6000 light-year to 50,000 light-year from the Galaxy center. The Sun is at about 30,000 ...

With their innovative design, tokamak reactors are leading the charge in fusion research, aiming to unlock the potential of ...

First conceived of by Igor Tamm and Andrei Sakharov in the 1950s, tokamaks use a toroidal magnetic field to contain the hydrogen plasma to help keep it at the sun-like pressure and temperature ...

Magnetic confinement uses a toroidal magnetic field that traps and compresses a plasma as it's heated to temperatures many times greater than that at the core of the Sun.

As noted in the paper by [P. Helander] et al., the use of permanent magnets can substantially simplify the magnetic-field coils of a stellarator, which are then primarily used for the toroidal ...

Although both tokamaks and stellarators use magnetic fields to confine and manipulate plasma, they are not the same. Tokamaks are big doughnut-shaped devices that employ a toroidal magnetic field.

It includes an experimental tokamak, a donut-shaped nuclear fusion device that works by trapping astonishingly hot plasma in very strong, toroidal magnetic fields.
