Inertial Confinement

Inertial Confinement is a method of plasma confinement that achieves nuclear fusion by rapidly compressing and heating a fuel target through the application of external energy beams, relying on the inertia of the imploding material to maintain sufficient density and temperature for fusion reactions before disassembly.
