Scientists may have found a shortcut to fusion energy
Scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory may have discovered a more efficient route to fusion energy by reversing traditional methods, starting with heating plasma before increasing its density. This approach could help future reactors achieve self-sustaining fusion with less energy and avoid certain hidden problems that complicate ignition.
