High in Sodium: Highly Charged Tungsten Ions May Diagnose Fusion Energy Reactors

(PhysOrg.com) -- Just as health-food manufacturers work on developing the best possible sodium substitutes for low-salt diets, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have acquired new knowledge on a promising sodium alternative of their own. Sodium-like tungsten ions could pepper -- and conveniently monitor -- the hot plasma soup inside fusion energy devices, potential sources of abundant, clean power.
