A novel path to fusion ignition: heat first, then add fuel
Oct. 5, 2026
A new PPPL framework maps the least demanding route to a self-sustaining fusion plasma and shows that a trace of tungsten and super high magnetic fields can make the climb far steeper
For more than 70 years, fusion energy researchers have use . . .
