Using high-resolution measurements in a magnetically confined plasma, two distinct turbulence types were directly observed: local turbulence, which carries heat, and nonlocal turbulence, which rapidly links distant regions. The authors show that nonlocal turbulence appears first after heating and becomes increasingly dominant for shorter pulses, revealing how mediator structures enhance nonlocal transport.
