SPARC (Sparking Fusion for the Future)

SPARC (Sparking Fusion for the Future) is a research project aimed at developing nuclear fusion as a practical energy source. Fusion is the process that powers the sun, where atomic nuclei combine to release vast amounts of energy. SPARC seeks to create a compact fusion reactor that can achieve "net energy gain," producing more energy than it consumes. This project is a collaboration between researchers from MIT and other institutions, with the goal of advancing clean, sustainable energy technology that could significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change, potentially revolutionizing energy generation in the future.
