#nstxu — Public Fediverse posts

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🍩🔄 #Fusion scientists study #plasma, the fourth state of matter, to design power plants, and the machine’s shape shapes how well plasma is held. Spherical #tokamaks, shaped like cored #apples, confine plasma efficiently with modest magnetic fields.

Less building material, stronger magnetic pressure, and faster-spinning plasma all follow, and #NSTXU, the largest #US device, will test those advantages at scale.
