Germany’s fusion research is drawing worldwide attention as scientists move closer to creating a reactor that can deliver clean, nearly limitless power. Fusion — the same reaction happening in the sun — fuses atoms under extreme heat and pressure, releasing huge energy without the long-lasting nuclear waste produced by current reactors. Because it relies on plentiful materials, many see fusion as one of the most promising paths for future energy independence.
Teams in Germany are now working to control and stabilize superheated plasma — the blazing, charged gas at the heart of fusion. If they can keep it contained long enough to sustain output, fusion could shift from an experimental dream to a real power source capable of reshaping the world’s grid.
