Nuclear fusion has been achieved using a new projectile technique that accelerates fuel to 200 times the speed of sound. First Light Fusion, a UK based start-up, used a hyper-velocity gas gun to launch a projectile at fusion fuels, such as deuterium, which starts a reaction. Fusion is a process where two light atomic nuclei … Read more
