A couple of weeks ago, something happened that truly might change mankind's future: This is momentous and hopefully, the development will continue.

Arguably this would be one of two potential technologies that would completely change human perspectives of the world. This and nanotechnology could effectively create a new epoch of humankind

amazing stuff , but isn't the problem with nuclear power the waste takes ages to cool down and be safe , or is this stuff different , it don't really say in the article

Great to see but we all know the oil companies will just buy the technology for billions to continue our reliance on fossil fuels

I seem to recall that fusion is a different ball game altogether.

Yes, nuclear Fission generates far more radiation. The process of fission is splitting atoms, where as fusion if binding them together. The radiation particles produced as a result are much lower (also Fusion occurs in nature, whilst fission doesn't) as its the means by which stars burn. The only thing I think approaching a fusion reaction is in the Hydrogen bomb with uses a fission trigger to generate something akin to a fusion reaction from the fission reaction.

Out of the entire HOL readership, I just knew it'd be you who came to my rescue.

"Still, its record is likely to stand for some time - at least until 2032, when the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (better known as ITER) is due to open in the south of France." such ambitious timelines! Edited by nairb75 (18 Oct 2016 3.05pm)
