Are you always afraid of using too much electricity? You don't leave anything on anything even for a second longer than necessary? Then this is a very good time to turn on every electric device you have at home just as a practice for future as times are coming when electricity will be cheaper than water. It probably won't cost almost anything at all as Holy Grail of energy, nuclear fusion (nuclear fusion is a merger of two light nuclei to form a heavy nucleus. This process usually emits a lot of energy), is being controlled better and better every day. So for example today scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory announced that they found a cause for a reason preventing nuclear reactors from achieving higher efficiency. Luis Delgado-Aparicio and David Gates showed what idea of radiation-driven islands in plasma may be correct. Armed with equations which explains how plasma density limit can appear from the growth of the earlier mentioned islands causing collapse of the electric current which heats plasma up to working temperature. Now experiments are waiting and results will hopefully prove this theory to be right. You can say that this is not important as it just remembered theory from 1980s which didn't receive enough attention but you are wrong. Knowing a cause allows to look for solutions and lift density limit much higher. From now on everyone should know that nuclear fusion is coming with huge steps to change the world and wish luck for ITER the most expensive science project of all times. After building it will be the largest and most advanced fusion reactor in the world. For more information click this link:
