Crucially, as the plasma energy decreased, the magnetic field lines were able to snap back. This compressed the plasma into a straight, narrow column not unlike a quasar's relativistic jet.

General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy for two decades, and it's now got something major to show for it. The company has created plasma in its prototype ...

Plasma—the electrically charged fourth state of matter—is at the heart of many important industrial processes, including those used to make computer chips and coat materials.
