In September this year, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright claimed that nuclear fusion could be harnessed within the next five years, with its application to the electricity grid expected within eight to fifteen years. Fusion research has been ongoing for over a century, with experiments beginning in the 1950s. To date, the most successful nuclear fusion experiment was almost 30 years ago, achieving an energy output equal to 0.67 times the input. Unlike nuclear fission, fusion has recentl...

Bertie speaks with Mark Parrington about this year’s record-breaking wildfires, and the health implications of increasing air pollution. Mark is a senior scientist at the EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service, where he uses satellite imagery to monitor wildfire emissions in real-time. He tells Bertie about the scale of the recent surge in wildfires across Europe, North America, and the Arctic, and the health impacts of particulate matter and long-range pollution transpor...
