As the particles journeyed around Earth, the lighter hydrogen particles were lost in collisions with the atmosphere, leaving an oxygen - rich plasma.

While high - energy particle physics often focuses on detection of subatomic particles, such as the recently discovered Higgs Boson, the new quark - gluon - plasma research instead examines behavior of a volume of such particles.

Such instabilities can cause quickly moving charged particles called «fast ions» to escape from the core of the plasma, which is corralled within machines known as tokamaks.

«The forerunner to the phenomenon is a violent eruption on the Sun's surface — also known as coronal mass ejections or CME, where bubbles of hot plasma and gas in the form of particles, electrons, and a magnetic field are hurled in the direction of the Earth,» says Per Høeg.

The results, demonstrated by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and collaborators on China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) found that lithium powder can eliminate instabilities known as edge - localized modes (ELMs) when used to coat a tungsten plasma - facing component called the «divertor» — the unit that exhausts waste heat and particles from plasma that fuels fusion reacPlasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and collaborators on China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) found that lithium powder can eliminate instabilities known as edge - localized modes (ELMs) when used to coat a tungsten plasma - facing component called the «divertor» — the unit that exhausts waste heat and particles from plasma that fuels fusion reacplasma - facing component called the «divertor» — the unit that exhausts waste heat and particles from plasma that fuels fusion reacplasma that fuels fusion reactions.
