Scientists Finally Create Energy Of The Sun In A Lab Opening Door To Clean Fusion Power

LIVERMORE, Ca. - Scientists have confirmed that they were able to ignite the same chemical reaction that powers the Sun by pumping more power than the entire US electric grid into a small gold capsule. If scientists were able to develop fully functioning fusion power plants, the sites would produce scores of energy using hydrogen from

Scientists Claim Space Bubbles Could Reverse Climate Change

BOSTON - Scientists at MIT think they may have finally found a way to reverse climate change. Or, at the least, help ease it some. The idea revolves heavily around the creation and deployment of several thin film-like silicon bubbles. The “space bubbles” as they refer to them, would be joined together like a raft.
