Plasma turbulence plays dual roles in fusion reactors
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 11, 2025 Researchers in Japan have directly observed that turbulence in magnetically confined fusion plasmas serves two distinct functions, both transporting heat and linking distant regions so that temperature changes can spread almost instantly across the plasma volume. The team at the National Institute for Fusion Science used the Large Helical Device (LHD), a large superconducting helical confinement experiment in Toki, Gifu, to study how heat and turbulence propagate when the plasma core is briefly he ... read more |
