The article focuses on the upgradation of the Australian Plasma Fusion Research Facility (APFRF) due to commonwealth investment of 7 million dollars under the Education Investment Fund's Super Science Initiative as of 2014. Topics include the radiofrequency heating system being the biggest cost in the upgrade, use of upgrade funding to develop several innovative remote plasma measurement systems by the facility, and the Magnetised Plasma Interaction Experiment plasma device developed by APFRF.
