Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is a method of achieving nuclear fusion by compressing and heating a small pellet of fusion fuel, typically a mixture of deuterium and tritium. This is done using powerful lasers or other energy sources that deliver intense energy in a very short time, causing the fuel to implode and reach the extreme temperatures and pressures needed for fusion to occur. The goal of ICF is to replicate the processes that power the Sun and other stars, where hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy. Successful ICF could provide a clean and virtually limitless source of energy, with minimal environmental impact compared to traditional fossil fuels.
