Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have transferred a technique from one realm of plasma physics to another to enable the more efficient design of powerful magnets for doughnut-shaped fusion facilities known as tokamaks. Such magnets confine and control plasma, the fourth state of matter that makes up 99 percent of the visible universe and fuels fusion reactions.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-08-cross-pollinating-physicists-technique-facilities-aim.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Cross-pollinating physicists use novel technique to improve the design of facilities that aim to harvest fusion energy<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physicists are like bees\u2014they can cross-pollinate, taking ideas from one area and using them to develop breakthroughs in other areas.
