Successful Nuclear Fusion Project Made by a 17-year old student!

Cesare Mencarini's small nuclear fusion reactor

A 17-year-old student has defied expectations and made headlines by developing a fully functional nuclear fusion reactor as part of his A-Levels. Cesare Mencarini, a standout student at Cardiff Sixth Form College, embarked on this ambitious project despite initial concerns from his teachers about the potential dangers. After 18 months of meticulous work, his reactor successfully generated plasma and earned him an A* in his exams. Showcased at the Cambridge Science Festival, Mencarini's reactor is a groundbreaking achievement, marking the first time such a device has been built in a school environment. With aspirations to further his engineering studies, Mencarini is poised to make a significant impact on the future of energy.
