If the processes powering the fusion reactor at the Sun's core could be recreated on Earth, it would be one of the most important events in the history of our species. Nuclear fusion power plants could end our dependency on fossil fuels and provide a virtually limitless, highly efficient source of clean energy.

In the video below MotherBoard went to two of the world's leading nuclear fusion research centers - Sandia National Labs in New Mexico and General Fusion outside Vancouver - to see how close we are to bringing the power of the stars down to Earth. Check it out below...

If you found that interesting you might also want to check out Ian Chapman's "How to Put the Sun in a Magnetic Bottle" - Fusion energy has the potential to be one of the most important scientific breakthroughs. Physicist Ian Chapman explores the challenges in nuclear fusion and explains how the international ITER project hopes to demonstrate that fusion energy can be realized here on Earth.
