Now, a team at Japan’s National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has cracked the code, discovering that plasma turbulence behaves less like a slow-moving fluid and more like an American football ...

Just as in-flight turbulence—irregular disruptions in the airflow—results in a bumpy plane ride, plasma turbulence transports ...

Plasma is usually introduced as the stuff of stars and fusion reactors, a searing soup of charged particles that has little ...

Producing fusion energy requires heating plasma to more than one hundred million degrees and confining it stably with strong ...
