In a study published in the latest edition of the journal Nature Communications, researchers confirmed that Germany's Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) fusion energy device is on track and working as planned.

Jeff and Anthony have a few questions about this breakthrough, and might be worried about how close this is to the last level of a video game.
