If the magnets work as expected, the plasma will reach incredibly high temperatures for long enough that the particles will start to fuse, releasing tremendous amounts of energy in the process. We’re kind of coming down the other side now,” Furlong said, referring to a tech industry theory that outlines the adoption and reception of new technologies.
