Major breakthrough in pursuit of nuclear fusion unveiled by US scientists
American researchers have achieved a major breakthrough paving the way toward nuclear fusion based energy generation, but major hurdles remain.
Nuclear fusion is an energy-generating reaction that fuses simple atomic nuclei into more complex ones, such as combining atoms of hydrogen into helium. Nuclear fusion takes place in the cores of stars when vast amounts of molecular dust collapse under gravity and create immense amounts of pressure and heat in the nascent stars' cores.
