Nuclear Fusion 36 - U.S. And Korean Researchers Improve Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) device
In the research and development of a nuclear fusion reactor, one of the major problems is keeping the super-hot plasma in a stable configuration that does not touch the interior wall of the vacuum chamber that contains the plasma. If the plasma touches the wall, it can lose shape and temperature, quenching the reactions that produce fusion.
