A research group led by Associate Professor Masahiro Kobayashi of the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has discovered that in the Large Helical Device (LHD), when fluctuations are ...

Plasma cutting – occasionally referred to as ‘plasma arc cutting’ – is a melting process that sees a high-temperature ionized gas jet used to melt the material and expel it from a cut. This ionized ...

In order to achieve fusion power generation, it is necessary to confine and maintain high-temperature plasma in a magnetic field. To achieve this, the turbulence that causes the plasma temperature to ...
