Plasma is an ionized gas with free electrons, ions, and neutral particles. Fusion has been considered an ultimate energy solution which is inexhaustible and also friendly to environment. Tokamak is a device to confine plasma using magnetic field. Pursues to build commercial fusion reactor are hindered by anomalous transport of heat and particles in the reactor. Instabilities and turbulences are the main candidates for causing anomalous transport, but the exact mechanism is still largely unknown. In addition, many technical and engineering problems have to be solved before commercial fusion reactors can be built.

等离子体是具有自由电子、离子和中性粒子的电离气体。核聚变被认为是一种取之不尽、用之不竭、对环境友好的终极能源解决方案。托卡马克是一种利用磁场约束等离子体的装置。反应堆中热量和粒子的异常传输阻碍了建造商业聚变反应堆的努力。不稳定性和不稳定性是导致反常输运的主要候选者，但确切的机制仍然是未知的。此外，在建造商业聚变反应堆之前，还必须解决许多技术和工程问题。
