Meanwhile, the OFES is preoccupied with magnetic fusion research since inertial fusion has always had an uneasy collusion and intertwined nature of being weapons related and living in dark corners of classification and secrecy.

Laser fusion is the poor cousin of magnetic-confinement fusion.

ECONOMIST: Nuclear fusion

As Oculus' full-time principle scientist, LaValle will be working on things like sensor fusion, magnetic drift correction, and kinematic modeling.

At such temperatures atoms are stripped down to their electrically charged components, so the helium created by fusion remains within the magnetic bottle.

ECONOMIST: Nuclear fusion

Since the late 1950s, U.K. scientists have been attempting to achieve the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (tritum and deuterium) using magnetic confinement (MCF).
