Scientists perform first basic physics simulation of spontaneous transition of the edge of fusion plasma to crucial high-confinement mode

Physicists have simulated the spontaneous transition of turbulence at the edge of a fusion plasma to the high-confinement mode that sustains fusion reactions. The research was achieved with the extreme-scale plasma turbulence code XGC.
