Plasma confinement is a critical process in nuclear fusion research, aiming to maintain a stable plasma state long enough for fusion reactions to occur. Achieving effective confinement involves overcoming challenges related to high temperature, pressure, and magnetic field control to prevent plasma from escaping the containment area.

Fusion reactions are processes where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process. This phenomenon powers the sun and other stars, offering a potential source of nearly limitless clean energy on Earth if harnessed effectively.
