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 ...

ITER, currently under construction in southern France, is set to become the world's largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment and the largest experimental tokamak nuclear fusion ...

A nuclear fusion reactor in China, dubbed the "artificial sun," has broken its own record to bring humanity one step closer to near-limitless clean energy.
