In their laboratory at Tohoku University, Kazunori Takahashi and Akira Ando took a different approach and successfully observed the spatial transition between the two plasma states diverging and stretching the MN. (sciencedaily.com)
A group of Japanese researchers led by Osaka University has proposed that substances heated with high - power lasers produce an ultrahigh pressure plasma state, comparable with those found at the centers of stars, and that the surface tension of the plasma can push back light. (sciencedaily.com)
A very high temperature plasma state above 1.2 hundred billion degrees C (> 10 keV) has to be sustained to maintain the fusion reaction; the NBI system plays an important role in heating the plasma. (sciencedaily.com)
