New research shows plasma **rotation**, combined with sideways drifts, creates the imbalance.
This breakthrough improves reactor modelling and could accelerate the path to practical fusion energy. ⚡ #FusionEnergy #PlasmaPhysics #Tokamak
Fusion energy is often described as the power source of the future ⚡
Its promise lies in abundant fuel, low emissions, and improved safety characteristics. Still under development—but with transformative potential.

What are the goals of ITER?
ITER aims to demonstrate that fusion can become a safe, carbon-free and virtually limitless energy source—by producing more energy than it consumes ⚡

Fusion power, maglev trains, and hydrogen aircraft are driving a resurgence in Japan's high-temperature superconductor (HTS) technology. Fujikura is investing $750M+ to boost wire production up to 8x, Toshiba partners with Airbus on superconducting motors, and Toyota integrates HTS into hydrogen cars. As competition with U.S. giant CFS intensifies, Japan's deep HTS supply chain emerges as a critical global asset.
