Using a small bench-top reactor, researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have demonstrated that electrochemically loading a solid metal target with deuterium fuel can boost nuclear fusion rates. Large-scale magnetic confinement fusion-which puts plasmas under extreme temperatures and pressure-is being widely explored as a method for clean energy generation. The experiment p
