Nuclear fusion has the potential to remove our reliance on fossil fuels by providing athat produces power in a similar way to the Sun and the stars. Fusion experiments, such as Europe's ITER, typically rely on large donut-shaped tokamak reactors using extremely powerful magnets to control the plasma generated during the fusion reaction.
"Z pinch has long been an appealing way to achieve nuclear fusion, but for many years researchers considered Z-pinch’s plasma instabilities to be an insurmountable challenge," Shumlak, who serves as Zap Energy's Chief Science Officer, said in the company's press release.
Remember 20 years ago when fision power was only 10 years away?
