WASHINGTON, May 29 (TNSres) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory issued the following news:
Harnessing energy from plasma requires a precise understanding of its behavior during fusion to keep it hot, dense and stable. A new theoretical model about a plasma's edge, which can become unstable and bulge, brings the prospect of commercial fusion power closer to reality.
"The model refines the thinking on stabilizing the edge . . .
