The European scientists have reportedly made substantial progress toward developing a technology that could someday allow them to harness nuclear fusion, offering a clean and nearly endless source of energy.
According to the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority, experts at the Joint European Torus (JET) experiment near Oxford, produced a remarkable amount of heat energy for more than a five-second period, which was said to be the duration of the experiment.

The result, according to the IAEA, demonstrate
