How nuclear fusion could transform health, energy, and electric cars
SMRTR summary
Nuclear fusion, the process powering stars, offers potential as a clean, abundant energy source but remains impractical for large-scale power generation on Earth. Scientists struggle to maintain stable plasma conditions for fusion reactions. Research explores applications beyond energy, such as propulsion and medical treatments. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), a 35-country project, aims to demonstrate fusion's viability by 2039, producing 500 MW of power from 50 MW input.
