Researchers achieve game-changing breakthrough in pursuit of next-gen energy source: 'Landmark moment'

Researchers from Astral Systems, a company based in the U.K. at the University of Bristol, successfully bred tritium using their own reactor, as reported by Interesting Engineering. Although nuclear fission is currently the source of all nuclear energy, scientists are making significant strides in developing energy from nuclear fusion — a notoriously difficult task that has an energy output four times higher than that of fission, according to th…
