From atoms to the stars: can nuclear fusion power our future?
Nuclear fusion is often presented as the energy source of the future - but why is it still not part of our everyday lives? Prof. Ambrogio Fasoli will talk about what makes fusion so difficult, what scientists have already figured out, and what still needs to happen before fusion power can realistically move from the lab to the grid.
