Short description

Some call it "the Holy Grail of energy," skeptics are making jokes that it “will always be another 50 years away" - nuclear fusion is indeed the ultimate energy source, essential for the future of the modern civilization, but it is also one of the biggest challenges for scientists and engineers around the world.

In addition, they will experience, for one day, what it looks like to work as an experimental physicists on existing fusion experiments.
