Powder, not gas: A safer, more effective way to create a star on Earth

DOE/Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

PPPL scientists have found that sprinkling a type of powder into fusion plasma could aid in harnessing the ultra-hot gas within a tokamak facility to produce heat to create electricity without producing greenhouse gases or long-term radioactive waste.

Blowing bubbles: PPPL scientist confirms way to launch current in fusion plasmas

DOE/Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

PPPL physicist Fatima Ebrahimi has used high-resolution computer simulations to investigate the practicality of the CHI start-up technique. The simulations show that CHI could produce the current continuously in larger, more powerful tokamaks than exist today to produce stable fusion plasmas.
