About

Fusion technology is the scientific and engineering discipline dedicated to harnessing the energy released from controlled nuclear fusion reactions. This field investigates the complex physics and technological challenges required to achieve and sustain the extreme thermonuclear conditions necessary for atomic nuclei to fuse, encompassing areas such as plasma physics, magnetic and inertial confinement, materials science, and energy extraction systems. Its significance lies in the pursuit of a potentially safe, sustainable, and abundant low-carbon energy source.
