A nuclear fusion reaction has overcome two key barriers to operating in a “sweet spot” needed for optimal power production: boosting the plasma density and keeping that denser plasma contained.
The experiment in California was carried out under special conditions that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world and produced modest results in terms of the amount of energy generated.
Early this month, South Korea’s KFE (Korean Institute of Fusion Energy) announced it had sustained the kind of high ...
