DIII-D
DIII-D is a major fusion research facility located in San Diego, California, managed by General Atomics. It is designed to study and develop nuclear fusion, a process that powers the sun and could potentially provide a nearly limitless source of clean energy. DIII-D uses powerful magnetic fields to control and sustain hot plasma, which is essential for fusing hydrogen atoms into helium. By experimenting with different configurations and conditions, researchers aim to solve the challenges of making fusion a viable energy source for the future, contributing to advancements in energy sustainability and technology.
