Zap Energy exceeds gigapascal fusion plasma pressures on new fusion device, FuZE-3
Next generation of fusion device reaches record plasma pressures in a sheared-flow-stabilized Z pinch Operating a new device named the Fusion Z-pinch Experiment 3, or FuZE-3, Zap Energy has now achieved plasmas with electron pressures as high as 830 megapascals (MPa), or 1.6 gigapascals (GPa) total, comparable to the pressures found deep below Earth's crust.
