Unstable plasma heats itself with waves it generates, experiments reveal

Fusion power is expected to be a sustainable energy source that emits no carbon dioxide during electricity generation. To achieve this, research is underway worldwide to confine high-temperature plasma using magnetic fields. To initiate a fusion reaction, high-energy particles or waves must be injected from outside to heat the plasma to extremely high temperatures.
