Science Science Needs AI Data Stocktakes A proof-of-concept for fusion energy Conor Griffin , Don Wallace , and Theo Brown Apr 30, 2026 20 9 7 Share By Conor Griffin, Don Wallace, and Theo Brown For 40 years, amid green pastures outside Culham, a small village in Oxfordshire, scientists and engineers toiled at the Joint European Torus. They were attempting to harness nuclear fusion, a force powerful enough to light the sun. To create fusion, scientists and engineers must heat the nuclei of very light atoms with such intensity that they fuse, instigating a self-sustaining reaction that releases
