The findings potentially resolve a long-standing issue with methanol conversion, which has tended to be clunky, inefficient, and environmentally detrimental.
“Our understanding of instabilities—when they grow, how they grow—is important to making fusion work.”
For plasma in fusion reactors, turbulence might be more than a pesky thing to control, a new study suggests.
