Nowadays, there are two main approaches for fusion energy research: Magnetic confinement fusion Magnetic confinement fusion is based on the fact that ions and electrons cannot easily travel across a ...

In plasma, electrons are stripped from the atoms. An atom with no electrons orbiting around the nucleus is said to be ionized and is called an ion. As a result, plasma is made of ions and free ...

Plasma is a super-hot mixture of charged particles, such as ions and electrons, which can conduct electricity and are influenced by magnetic fields. Instabilities in plasmas can occur because the ...
