MIT researchers working on a nuclear fusion superconductor that will generate carbon-free limitless energy within 15 years

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have revealed that for the first time ever, nuclear fusion-based renewable energy may be achievable within the next 15 years. This is going to be made possible thanks in part to a collaboration of the university with a private company that goes by the name Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS). Together, the two hope to put forth fusion power as a viable source of energy for the world in less than two decades.

Nuclear fusion is the process that allows the sun to exist as it is right now, and is indirectly responsible for sustaining basically all life on Earth. Its purpose in this project is to serve as the core of a new renewable energy resource that will be able to last for a very long time.
