Researchers reach major milestone in journey to harness limitless energy source: 'A significant step'

Researchers at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science in China have found a way to use robotics to optimize the machinery of fusion reactors. Fusion reactors create nuclear fusion energy, which the U.S. Department of Energy has described as the result of joining two light atoms (usually hydrogen atoms) together. Nuclear fusion avoids the dangerous, long-lasting radioactive waste of nuclear fission, the process of splitting atoms that is used i…
