Physicists have applied powerful magnetic fields to laser-controlled implosion. This will allow you to manage
Arijit Bose, University of Delaware andsenior author of the study, was inspired by work at the Laser Energy Laboratory in Rochester. There, lasers are used to explode spherical capsules and create plasma in the process of thermonuclear fusion with inertial confinement.

During a new physics experimentWe used an OMEGA laser system. It “shot” a powerful beam at a sphere of frozen deuterium and tritium, heating it to a temperature close to the core of the Sun. Scientists also used a powerful magnetic field—in this case, up to 50 Tesla—which is used to control charged particles. It had not been used before.
For comparison, a typical deviceMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnets with a strength of about 3T. The magnetic field that protects the Earth from the solar wind is many orders of magnitude less than 50 Tesla, scientists emphasize.
Magnetic fields trap charged particlesand make them move around the lines of force. This helps them collide and accelerates inertial controlled thermonuclear fusion. However, the authors of the project emphasize that the finished solution still needs to be finalized. For now this is just an experiment.
