DOE's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has successfully tested a Laboratory-designed device to be used to diminish the size of instabilities known as "edge localized modes (ELMs)" on the DIII–D tokamak that General Atomics operates for the U.S. Department of Energy in San Diego. Such instabilities can damage the interior of fusion facilities.
