In a fusion device plasma, a steep ion temperature gradient slows the growth of magnetic islands

Future fusion power plants will require good plasma confinement to sustain reactions and generate energy. One way to contain plasma for fusion reactions is to use a tokamak, a device that applies magnetic fields to "bottle" ...
