The ions must be held together in close proximity at high temperature with a confinement time long enough to avoid cooling. Nowadays, there are two main approaches for fusion energy research: Magnetic ...

Scientists use magnetic confinement devices to manipulate plasmas. The most common fusion reactors of that kind are tokamaks and stellarators. Currently, these are the most promising concepts for ...

A Sweden-based firm has launched a plasma confinement project to achieve commercially viable fusion energy ... which will include Magnetic Confinement, Ambipolar Plugging, and Ponderomotive ...
