Seeing clearly: Revised computer code accurately models an instability in fusion plasmas

DOE/Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Subatomic particles zip around fusion machines known as tokamaks and sometimes merge, releasing large amounts of energy. Now, physicists have confirmed that an updated computer code could help to predict and ultimately prevent the particles from leaking from the magnetic fields confining them.
