DOE Explains...Fusion Energy Science | Department of Energy
Creating conditions for fusion on Earth involves generating and sustaining a plasma. Plasmas are gases that are so hot that electrons are freed from atomic nuclei. Researchers use electric and magnetic fields to control the resulting collection of ions and electrons because they have electrical charges.
How the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab contributed
2022年2月15日 · Fusion, the power that drives sun and stars, combines light elements in the form of plasma — the hot, charged state of matter composed of free electrons and atomic nuclei, or ions, making up 99% of the visible universe — to generate massive amounts of energy.
