Scientists have found a way to harness the energy of thermonuclear fusion

Scientists have found a way to harness the energy of thermonuclear fusion

One of the most promising areas in the nuclear power industry is the type of rector, called a tokamak. It uses a very powerful magnetic field, which inside the special toroidal chamber (in the form of a hollow donut) is trapped by...
