What Does ICF Stand For?
ICF stands for Inertial Confinement Fusion
Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is a method of achieving nuclear fusion by compressing and heating a fuel target, typically composed of isotopes of hydrogen, using intense energy from lasers or other forms of radiation. The process involves rapidly compressing the fuel to achieve conditions needed for fusion, where atomic nuclei collide and fuse, releasing vast amounts of energy. ICF is a key area of research for achieving sustainable and clean energy solutions, and has applications in both energy production and advanced scientific studies.
