Experiments in Germany suggest we are a step closer to harnessing the power of nuclear fusion, which could generate clean, safe and limitless energy. Scientists at the Max Planck Instite for Plasma Physics have discovered for the first time that they are able to produce high-quality magnetic fields. Sam Lazerson, a research scientist involved in the project, said the test is a “fork in the road kind of experiment”. Sam said: “One of the goals is to show we can get out massive quantities of energy from the fusion reaction and sustain that for a long time.” “If it works, it’s available to everyone,” he added.
