nuclear fusion

As for moonshots, Dorsheimer lists three: nuclear fusion, as in the process the sun uses that produces energy, geothermal power, and new nuclear technologies.

Scientists believe nuclear fusion, which Mr Wright studied at university, could one day produce vast amounts of energy without heating up our atmosphere.

"It's as complex as nuclear fusion physics, but most of us don't experience that day to day, and so we don't have to come up with a way to communicate that science to the public."

The team in Bristol have come up with a whole new approach, using nuclear fusion rather than fission.
