Taylor Wilson nuclear fusion

40 images Created 2 Dec 2011

Teenage genius Taylor Wilson became the youngest person in history to achieve nuclear fusion.

In the book The Boy Who Played with Fusion, science journalist Tom Clynes narrates Taylor Wilson’s extraordinary journey—from his Arkansas home where his parents fully supported his intellectual passions, to a unique Reno, Nevada, public high school just for academic superstars, to the present, when now nineteen-year-old Wilson is winning international science competitions with devices designed to prevent terrorists from shipping radioactive material into the country.
