Levitating Magnet for Clean Power
A recent experiment with a giant levitating magnet was able to coax matter in the lab to extremely high densities which is a necessary step for nuclear fusion. When the density is high enough, atomic nuclei, the protons and neutrons of atoms, literally fuse together, creating a heavier element. Moreover, if the conditions are right that fusion can release loads of energy. Depending on the mass of this element, energy could be created by fusion without any greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it could present a tantalizing clean power source, if scientists could achieve it.
