Chinese reactor achieves nuclear fusion with hydrogen-boron

Chinese engineers have achieved sustained nuclear fusion for the first time using hydrogen-boron as fuel, a much cleaner and more abundant alternative to the conventional deuterium-tritium mixture. The state-backed ENN Group used a laser and radio waves to generate plasma in a spherical tokamak reactor. In the process, a hydrogen proton and a boron-11 nucleus fuse into harmless helium nuclei...
