Have Physicists Solved the Plasma Problem Holding Back Fusion Power?
Fusion has a confinement problem. How do you keep high density, high-temperature plasmas contained continuously to create conditions akin to what occurs deep within the Sun? You do it using very powerful magnets to create a magnetic containment field. It was previously thought that there was a limit to how much hydrogen can be injected before the magnetic field is disrupted. But researchers in Switzerland have shown they can double the amount which could kickstart commercial fusion.

Researchers in Switzerland show that hydrogen injections into magnetically-contained plasma can double to yield significantly more energy.
