What is thermonuclear fusion? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice discuss the Department of Energy’s breakthrough in nuclear fusion and what it means for our energy future.

Can we do nuclear fusion in a controlled setting? Find out how the worlds most powerful lasers at The Lawrence Livermore Lab got hydrogen atoms to come together. How do you get two protons to join the same nucleus? Learn about the fundamental forces that make nuclear fusion possible as well as really difficult. We explore E = MC2 and how it continues to transform civilization. What does unlocking nuclear fusion mean for the future of sustainable energy?
