Plasma instabilities called Type-1 ELMs can melt the walls of fusion devices. EUROfusion Researcher Grant winner Georg Harrer lead a team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) and the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) to find a way to get these outbursts under control. Their work is published in the renowned journal “Physical Review Letters”.

New simulations and experiments at the record-breaking Joint European Torus fusion device JET take another step towards sustainable fusion power to the grid. In the scientific journal Nature Communications, EUROfusion and international researchers show how periodic waves in the plasma can ‘rake out’ unburnable helium while the fusion reaction burns steady.
