Electromagnetic Waves for Thermonuclear Fusion Research

Caption

The target of Controlled Thermonuclear Fusion is the conundrum of how to find a source of energy capable of satisfying the needs of a growing world population without destroying the environment. The goal is to control the energy that is released in hot plasmas when two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier one.
