Achieving Plasma Stability Experiment (APSE)
The Achieving Plasma Stability Experiment (APSE) is a scientific study focused on understanding how to control and maintain stable plasma—a super-hot, ionized state of matter essential for fusion energy. Fusion produces power by merging atomic nuclei, similar to how the Sun generates energy. APSE investigates magnetic confinement techniques to keep plasma stable and contained at extreme temperatures, aiming to improve the safety and efficiency of future fusion reactors. This research advances our ability to develop clean, sustainable energy sources by addressing key challenges in controlling high-temperature plasmas.
