International Fusion Research

International fusion research involves global collaboration to develop fusion energy, which replicates the Sun's process by merging atomic nuclei to release massive clean energy. Scientists use advanced reactors, like tokamaks and stellarators, to contain hot plasma—an ionized gas—at extreme temperatures. The goal is to achieve a controlled, sustainable fusion reaction that produces more energy than it consumes. This research aims to create a safe, abundant, and environmentally friendly energy source to address future global energy needs, with projects like ITER in France serving as international efforts to make fusion power a practical reality.
