In this episode, we sit down with Sir Steven Cowley, a British theoretical physicist and global authority on astrophysical plasmas and nuclear fusion. Steven is the director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) as well as the United States Department of Energy (DOE). Presently, he focuses his research on plasmas and nuclear fusion in astrophysical plasmas.

Steven began his fascination with fusion at the age of eleven, and since then, has pursued physics with a hunger for knowledge and innovation…

In this episode, you will learn about:

• Why fusion energy is so difficult to control.
• How fusion energy could be utilized by humans.
• The hottest temperature ever produced on Earth.
• The easiest fusion reactions to do.

Fusion is an incredibly dense source of energy that researchers are learning more about every day. Want to find out how Steven is working towards harnessing this power? Join the conversation now!
