Inside The UKs Breakthrough Fusion Reactor - First Light Fusion
First Light Fusion are taking an compelling approach to fusion, elimating the physics complexity, and engineering for scalable clean energy. I had the opportunity to see inside First Light's breakthrough fusion reactor and wanted to bring to along for the journey. Merch!
