The cause, according to a theory advanced by PPPL physicist David Gates and colleagues at the Laboratory, lies in the tendency of bubble - like islands that form in the plasma that fuels fusion reactions to shed heat and grow exponentially — a runaway growth that disrupts the crucial current that completes the magnetic field that holds the plasma together.
