Breakthroughs in Nuclear Fusion

Did you hear the latest with nuclear ENERGY?

 

So we’ve talked about nuclear energy on Dope Labs, and there’s been a great advancement in the fusion space today. It’s incredible because this reaction emitted more energy than was required to start it!

If you’re reading this and saying, “Huh?! What does that mean?" you should probably listen to the episode about nuclear fusion from Dr. Mareena Robinson Snowden! In this lab she revisits some of the fundamental physics concepts you’ll need to understand the world of nuclear energy. Dr. Snowden highlights required safety measurements and environmental impacts involved with this work and includes some historical and social context too. Don’t miss Lab 060!
