A team of U.S. scientists has made a surprising discovery that could help bring fusion energy, a long-hoped-for clean energy source, closer to reality. In a recent experiment at the University of ...

The paper appeared in Space Science Review. There are only a few so-called "heaters" in the world – special stands which create artificial plasma processes in the upper atmosphere by heating them.

It turns out that containing the same process that powers the sun can be turbulent work. Even microscale eddies in fusion plasma experiments can cause performance degradation, according to a release ...
