Heliotron-J (experimental device)
Heliotron-J is an experimental device designed to explore controlled nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun. It uses a sophisticated magnetic field configuration to contain extremely hot plasma—a superheated state of matter—without it touching the walls of the device. By studying how to maintain stable plasma conditions, Heliotron-J aims to advance fusion research as a potential clean and limitless energy source. Its unique twisted magnetic design allows researchers to better understand plasma behavior, helping to develop sustainable fusion reactors in the future.
