Scientists in the U.K. have achieved a major breakthrough — a key step in unlocking greener, nearly limitless energy.
The Times reported that researchers at the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority successfully used small magnetic coils to stabilize the edge of the superheated plasma inside their apple-shaped Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak Upgrade.
Fusion energy is the same reaction that powers the sun. It works by merging or fusing two lighter atoms, like hydrogen atoms, to form a heavier atom, like helium. It releases enormous energy in the process.
Unlike fission reactions, fusion produces minimal l
