Today we change up the format a bit. As always, we start with the Science Fact of the Day (you have many more than five senses), but then we focus on a single topic. I received some feedback saying that I hadn't given enough time to the 20 T magnet at MIT and that this was a fascinating topic. So today, I cover in detail why it's newsworthy, what nuclear fusion is, how it's different from nuclear fission, and why fusion power has the potential to change the world.
Emily Dickinson at the end!
