Comparison of magnetic confinement fusion and inertial confinement fusion approaches

Fusion Energy: Magnetic Confinement and the Path to Net Gain

Recent advances in magnetic confinement fusion demonstrate unprecedented control over plasma turbulence, with scientists now manipulating electromagnetic waves to stabilize plasma temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius. As ITER construction progresses and private fusion companies achieve new milestones, the path to net energy gain becomes increasingly tangible.
