Texas A&M Institute Part Of National Effort To Harness Nuclear Laser Fusion For Limitless Energy

The Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering is a major player in advancing laser-driven fusion energy.

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun, is the ultimate source of energy for all life on Earth. On the sun, deuterium and tritium nuclei combine to produce an alpha particle (the nucleus of a helium atom) and a neutron. The dream is to do the same down here, on Earth, in a controlled manner.

It’s for good reason that harnessing fusion energy is one of the greatest scientific and technological challenges of the 21st century.
