WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory issued the following news release:
Creating a star on Earth requires a delicate balance between pumping enormous amounts of energy into plasma to make it hot enough for fusion to occur and preventing that heat from escaping. Now, physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have identified a method by which instabilities can be tamed and heat c . . .
