This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape

Cars That Think

Mimicking the process that fuels the sun, the hydrogen ions—isotopes called deuterium and tritium—will accelerate and collide with such force that they fuse into helium and release highly energetic neutrons. Inertial confinement compresses and heats a target filled with fuel—often using lasers—to kick-start a reaction.
