Overview
Recent results on electromagnetic turbulence from gyrokinetic studies in different magnetic configurations are overviewed, showing the characteristics of electromagnetic turbulence and
transport in situations where it is both expected and unexpected, and showing how it is affected by equilibrium magnetic field scale lengths. Ballooning parity ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence is found...

Overview
The RFX-mod device can be operated both as a Reversed Field Pinch (RFP), where advanced regimes featuring helical shape develop, and as a Tokamak. Due to its flexibility, RFX-mod is contributing to the solution of key issues in the roadmap to ITER and DEMO, including 3D nonlinear MHD modeling, MHD instability control, internal transport barriers, edge transport and turbulence, isotopic effect,...

Overview
This overview of results from the MST reversed field pinch program summarizes physics important for the advancement of the RFP as well as for improved understanding of toroidal magnetic confinement in general. Topics include energetic particle effects, 3D helical equilibria, beta and density limit studies, microturbulence, ion heating, and magnetic self-organization physics. With neutral beam...

Overview
Since the 2012 IAEA-FEC Conference, FTU operations have been largely devoted to runaway electrons (RE) generation and control, to the exploitation of the 140 GHz EC system and to liquid metal limiter elements. Experiments on RE have shown that the measured threshold electric field is larger than predicted by collisional theory and can be justified considering synchrotron radiation losses. A...

Overview
Steady State Superconducting Tokamak (SST-1) has been commissioned after the successful experimental and engineering validations of its critical sub-systems. During the `engineering validation phase’ of SST-1; the cryostat was demonstrated to be leak tight to superconducting magnets system operations in all operational scenarios, the 80 K thermal shield was demonstrated to be uniformly cooled...
