>>12330308Definitely promising, but it's unlikely to beat magnetic confinement if we manage to invent better magnets.
The second we invent commercially-available room temperature superconductors (if they are possible, and that's a big if), magnetic confinement gets a lot easier.
Even without these, it's difficult to imagine we won't invent better and better superconducting magnets that can get to higher and higher fields with less coolant.
Then again, the same thing could be said for the lasers, though there's less improvement needed in that area for commercial fusion.
Both are promising avenues.
