The breakthrough would enable denser and better-confined plasma, which is crucial to making fusion energy on a commercial scale.
Scientists have overcome two key barriers to producing power from nuclear fusion, which could pave the way for producing near-limitless clean energy. The scientists have ensured that the nuclear fusion reaction overcomes the two barriers to operating in a “sweet spot” for optimal power production: boosting the plasma density and containing the dense plasma. A tokamak reactor is essentially used around the world for producing energy from fusion reactions. The reactors have a donut-shaped interior which is covered with magnets.
