Revolutionary Fusion Energy Breakthrough Unleashes Limitless Clean Power

Researchers have discovered a method to mitigate damaging runaway electrons in tokamak fusion devices by harnessing Alfvén waves. This breakthrough could have significant implications for the advancement of fusion energy, including the ongoing ITER project in France. The circular process of using Alfvén waves to disrupt the formation of avalanches of runaway electrons was observed in experiments and supported by theoretical models. The findings could lead to the development of tokamak designs that naturally mitigate runaway electron damage, addressing a major challenge in fusion energy research.
