The following table presents a comparative overview of [[tokamak]] and [[stellarator]] <ref name="Xu2016" />. The comparison highlights key physical properties, transport characteristics, stability behavior, and reactor-relevant challenges of both concepts. The aim is to provide a simplified and coherent picture of the main technical and physical challenges faced by each configuration, and to show how far current experiments are from a practical fusion reactor. <ref name="Xu2016" /><ref name="Spitzer1958" /><ref name="Helander2012" /><ref name="Connor1977" /><ref name="Stroth1998" /><ref name="Xu2013" /><ref name="Stix1973" /><ref name="Helander2007" /><ref name="Feng2011" /> | The following table presents a comparative overview of [[tokamak]] and [[stellarator]] <ref name="Xu2016" />.
