The success of US fusion breaks the mystery of decades of heat in tokamaks

The Blueprint

New research at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has shown that the rotation of the plasma core is a key factor in how particles are distributed within a fusion reactor system. The study shows why plasma particles hit some parts of the reactor more than others. This finding allows computer simulations to match experimental … Read more
