| Summary | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Researchers learn to control high-temperature plasmas with magnetic fields. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Plasma consists of charged particles — specifically, positive nuclei and negative electrons — that can be shaped and confined by magnetic forces. Like iron filings subjected to magnets, these particles will follow a magnetic field's guidance, enabling us to both contain and direct the boiling, deadly forces within. The magnetic field lines act like an invisible bottle, and can isolate the plasma from any solid walls around it, thus preventing it from burning right through them. Magnetically-confined plasmas can reach temperatures ten times hotter than the heart of the sun, and as such could be used to generate untold megawatts of energy - whether that be to accelerate a spacecraft to ever-greater velocities, or to deal unstoppable death to our enemies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| "I'm not interested in baby steps. Our enemy isn't going to wait for us to catch up. What I want from you is the most devastating force you can possibly imagine, placed in the hands of our soldiers today."
