In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) is our best bet for "living off the land" for a future Martian base, but tracking down those resources is no easy task. As of now, we have two options—send a rover to a specific location to scout it, or monitor it from orbit. Since rovers are expensive, and there are an absolute ton of sites that we would eventually want to scout, doing so from orbit would seem a better option.

Since rovers are expensive, and there are an absolute ton of sites that we would eventually want to scout, doing so from orbit would seem a better option. But monitoring for temperature, one of the most important orbital scans we can do, is notoriously blurry - based in part on the fact that most of the main instruments used to collect data on it are a few decades old.

The mechanism that can cause a rapidly expanding plasma—the superhot state of matter harnessed in fusion energy systems—to spontaneously generate its own magnetic fields was identified through a new set of simulations. This improves our understanding of naturally occurring plasmas in our universe and advances the development of fusion systems based on an approach called direct-drive inertial fusion.

Author(s): Pavel Aleynikov, Per Helander, and Håkan M. SmithThe concept for future fusion reactors has a key advantage over the tokamak, being practically immune to large-scale disruptions. The authors show, however, that a rapid shutdown of stellarator coil currents (with fast dissipation of poloidal magnetic flux) can nonetheless drive an avalanche of runaway electrons, even without any interruption of the net toroidal plasma current. The problem is far less serious than in a tokamak, but some runaways are inevitably present in an activated fusion device, so an accidental rapid coil ramp-down could produce a dangerous runaway current. Some form of dedicated intervention is likely necessary. [Phys. Rev. Applied 25, 024065] Published Fri Feb 20, 2026
