Oxford Scientists come up with a novel approach to nuclear fusion energy

Recommendable! This is a very different approach to conventional tokamaks or stellarators!

"Projectile fusion is a new approach to inertial fusion that is simpler, more energy efficient, and has lower physics risk. Inertial fusion is a pulsed process, where, like an internal combustion engine, a small amount of fuel is injected and sparked to make it burn. The main existing approach to inertial fusion uses a large laser as the "spark plug", triggering the reaction. We use a high velocity projectile instead. ..." (Source)
