Scientists may have found a shortcut to fusion energy
Scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory may have discovered a more efficient path to fusion energy by reversing traditional methods, focusing on increasing plasma density before heating it. This approach could enable future reactors to achieve self-sustaining fusion with less energy and potentially avoid certain hidden challenges.
