Laboratory study on conditions for spontaneous excitation of "chorus emission," wave of space plasma: Exploring common plasma phenomena in laboratory and space through experiments in the RT-1 artificial magnetosphere

The whistler mode chorus emission in the space around planets is an important wave that plays a significant role in phenomena such as aurorae and "space weather". ...

First demonstration of predictive control of fusion plasma by digital twin
EurekAlert!Press Release January 26, 2024
First demonstration of predictive control of fusion plasma by digital twin: Application of data assimilation to adaptive predictive control

In order to realize fusion power generation using the magnetic confinement method, it is necessary to control ultra-high temperature plasmas exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius over a long period of time. ...
