Invented by Soviet scientists in the 1960s , gyrotons are used in nuclear fusion research experiments to heat and control plasma. Microwaves meet rocks “But an energy beam doesn’t have those kinds of limits,” says Paul Woskov , senior research engineer at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center.

Physicists first suspected more than a century ago that the fusing of hydrogen into helium powers the sun. And scientists and engineers have continued to study the sun’s fusion process in hopes of one day using nuclear fusion to generate heat or electricity. Among those interested parties is NASA. percent efficiency.
