“Science is not a body of knowledge, it’s a way of thinking.” – Carl Sagan Scientists aim to create heat from fusion reactions by tweaking plasma’s properties. Plasma is the electrically charged state of matter that fills 99% of the universe. They want to mimic the stars’ fusion reactions on Earth to make electricity. This would be clean, without harmful gases or long-lasting radioactive waste.…
Fusion Energy: The Holy Grail of Clean Energy
“The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.” – C.S. Lewis The world needs to switch to clean energy fast. Scientists see nuclear fusion as the key to this change. It’s like how the sun makes energy, offering endless, pollution-free power. This could change how we power everything. Fusion Energy: The Holy…
Exploring Energy and Fusion Research: The Future
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt The world faces big challenges in energy and the environment. Fusion energy could be a big solution. At the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), scientists are exploring new ways to make energy. Fusion is when two light nuclei merge to make a heavier one, releasing lots of energy. This…
