NIFS (National Institute for Fusion Science)

The National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) in Japan is a research organization dedicated to studying nuclear fusion, which is the process that powers the sun. Fusion involves merging light atomic nuclei to release vast amounts of energy, offering a potential source of clean, almost limitless power. NIFS focuses on developing and understanding the advanced machines and science needed to control fusion reactions on Earth. Its work aims to make fusion energy a viable, safe, and sustainable energy source for the future, contributing to global efforts to address energy and environmental challenges.
