Physicists have solved a long-standing fusion puzzle in tokamaks: why plasma particles strike one divertor side more than the other. 🌀
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.

Japan's HTS Superconductor Boom: Fujikura Scales Production 8x as Fusion, Maglev, and Aviation Drive Demand

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.
