Shaping up nicely: Adjusting the plasma edge can improve the performance of a star on Earth

Summary by Ground News

Pulsed injections of boron carbide, an ingredient in sandpaper, increased the density and temperature of the ultrahot atom fragments, or plasma. This in turn reduces turbulence, the complex swirls that flush heat from the plasma. The researchers plan to conduct more experiments to confirm this finding.
