It finally happened,
A technology that has been 20 years away for the past 80 years,
Is now just 20 years away,
Fusion power!
Has produced more energy than it took to produce. A net gain in an experiment that one day could allow humans to use a near-limitless power supply that does not produce greenhouse gasses or contribute to global warming and while this technology holds great promise while it is likely the best long-term solution for curbing global warming it isn’t commercially viable just yet…
But the solution is on the horizon!
Thanks to those who study nuclear science,
To those who loved their classes,
To the crazy teachers who wear dark glasses,
It’s going great, and it’s only getting better,
You’re doing alright, You’re making the grades,
The future’s so bright, we all gotta wear shades,
Here on
This Week in Science

Jaguars aren’t lone wolves
Is it time we just throw out all assumptions we have made about animals and start over??
Cell Control
How do cells gain control over bacterial symbionts?
Cancer Cures
For chronic lymphocytic leukemia
