New Record: Reactor Crosses ‘Crucial Milestone’ in Achieving Nuclear Fusion

For decades, nuclear power has relied on fission—splitting atoms apart to release energy. It’s effective, but it comes with radioactive waste and safety risks. Fusion, on the other hand, works by fusing atomic nuclei together, mimicking the process that powers the sun. It promises clean, nearly limitless energy, but there’s a catch: it requires temperatures
