Plasma Focus Device

A plasma focus device is a scientific instrument that creates a brief, intense burst of high-energy plasma—hot, ionized gas—by rapidly compressing and heating it with electromagnetic forces. It uses electric currents and magnetic fields to generate a powerful, localized plasma fusion event, producing high temperatures, radiation, and sometimes neutrons. This technology is studied for potential applications in nuclear research, material testing, and advanced energy research because it can simulate extreme conditions similar to those found in stars or nuclear reactions.
