fusion researchers

Fusion researchers are scientists working to develop ways to harness the process that powers the Sun—nuclear fusion—where atomic nuclei combine to release immense energy. They study how to recreate these conditions on Earth safely and efficiently, using advanced machines like tokamaks or stellarators to contain extremely hot plasmas. Their goal is to create a clean, sustainable energy source by replicating fusion reactions, which produce no greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive waste. These researchers combine expertise from physics, engineering, and materials science to solve complex challenges and bring fusion power closer to practical use.
