The 1938 Experiment That Could Open the Door to a Nuclear Fusion Boom

Nuclear fusion could be a “silver bullet” for near-infinite clean energy if scientists can figure out how to make it commercially viable. By copying the process that powers our sun here on Earth, we could unlock enormously powerful energy production without any of the radioactive waste hazards associated with nuclear fission. Due to its enormous potential, there is a high-stakes global race to unlock the science that will allow us to make the nascent and lab-bound technology a commercial reality. Currently, China and the United States…
