Joint US-China research teams solve one big issue with fusion reaction
Physicists at Us and Chinese research firms have discovered a means of suppressing a persistent instability that has hampered fusion reaction research. The instability, commonly referred to as the "kink mode" instability, made controlling the plasma temperature impossible without constant external influences. Now by allowing the plasma to operate closer to the containment unit's wall the plasma is constrained by it's own pressure and the fusion reaction comes one step closer to self-sustaining.
The team is led by Dr. Xianzu Gong of ASIPP and Dr. Andrea Garofalo of General Atomics (GA) in San Diego.
