fusiondevices
Fusion devices refer to engineered systems that harness fusion reactions to produce energy, enable advanced material processing, or serve specialized scientific purposes. The core concept relies on merging light atomic nuclei—typically isotopes of hydrogen such as deuterium and tritium—under extreme temperatures and pressures to release substantial energy according to the mass–energy equivalence principle. This process is distinct from fission, which splits heavy nuclei, and from conventional chemical devices, as it occurs at the nuclear level.
The most widely studied fusion devices are high‑temperature plasma containment systems. Magnetic confinement devices, such as
Fusion devices are pursued for their potential to provide a nearly limitless, low‑radioactivity energy source. Successful
