"otate with the hot, charged plasma— the fourth state of matter composed of free electrons and atomic nuclei that fuels fusion reactions—and tear holes called islands in the magnetic field that confines the gas, allowing the leakage of key heat... grow larger when modes stop rotating... growth rate increases heat loss, reduces plasma... cause disruptions that allow energy stored to strike tokamak's inner walls... beam microwaves into plasma... stabilize modes... large, next-generation tokamaks"
