Revolutionizing Fusion: Researchers Achieve Major Milestone in Predicting Plasma Turbulence

Fusion energy, the process of fusing light atomic nuclei to generate energy, has long been considered the key to a clean and virtually limitless power source. Magnetic confinement fusion, the most advanced approach to achieving fusion, traps plasma—an ionized gas heated to millions of degrees Celsius—within a magnetic field. For sustained energy generation, the plasma must retain as much energy as possible. This goal relies heavily on understand…
