For the first time, scientists have built a fusion experiment using permanent magnets, a technique that could show a simple way to build future devices for less cost and allow researchers to test new ...

The paper appeared in Space Science Review. There are only a few so-called "heaters" in the world – special stands which create artificial plasma processes in the upper atmosphere by heating them.
