Is it possible to build a star on earth? When asked what problem he
hoped scientists will have solved by the end of the century,
Professor Stephen Hawking replied 'I would like nuclear fusion to
become a practical power source. It would provide an inexhaustible
supply of energy, without pollution or global warming.' But what is
nuclear fusion, and could it really be the answer to the climate
emergency? Fusion exists already in the stars that fill our
universe with light, but can we harness that power here on earth?
This is the question The Star Builders seeks to answer. In his
compelling new book, Dr Arthur Turrell makes the case for
cutting-edge new techniques in nuclear energy - innovations that
would allow us to recreate the power of the stars on our own
planet. Filled with the remarkable stories of the scientists and
entrepreneurs who have dedicated their lives to a seemingly
impossible dream, The Star Builders is an unmissable insight into
the future of life - and space - on our planet.
