Since the 1950s, scientists have attempted to harness nuclear fusion - the process that creates the Sun''s energy - to generate near-limitless amounts of electricity. But the fact that we still have no fusion power plants is testament to the complexities of the challenge. Now, the deepening climate crisis means that researchers around the world are in a race to create a mini-Sun here on Earth.
