Could a simple change in heating sequence make nuclear fusion easier to achieve?Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have refined the Lawson criterion, suggesting that heating plasma before increasing its density could reduce the energy needed for fusion ignition. Their model also accounts for real-world reactor challenges, potentially helping scientists design more efficient fusion power plants.This episode includes AI-generated content.
