Science and U: A Better Way Towards Nuclear Fusion

Dr. Weiping Yu is back with another mythbusting segment of Science and U. The physicist comments on some of the latest news in the world of science–news such as the development of a spherical tokamak reactor. Can this experimental nuclear reactor move fusion forward? “We’re heading in the wrong direction,” Dr. Yu says, “this kind of traditional fusion theory isn’t correct.” Is there a better way to generate nuclear fusion? Dr. Yu also comments on the study which claims that the universe is seeing a steady rise in temperature.
