What is the problem with controlled fusion?
So what are scientists doing to try to overcome this problem?
There are a few approaches being pursued. One is magnetic confinement, which uses strong magnetic fields to trap and contain the plasma. Another is inertial confinement, which rapidly heats and compresses small fuel pellets to initiate fusion reactions. There is also research being done on alternative fuels, such as helium-3, which could potentially make fusion easier to achieve.
