Inside the lab trying to commercialise nuclear fusion | BBC News

In a laboratory south of Montreal, Canada, scientists are busy trying to build the pathway for a new energy solution.

Fuse is a start-up on a difficult mission - to commercialise nuclear fusion.

Fusion is a process that occurs naturally inside the sun - when two atomic nuclei combine, they release energy.

Here on Earth, scientists have been trying to recreate that for almost a century, but now, in the midst of trade wars and with our environment high in the balance, the race is on.

The BBC was granted exclusive access to Fuse's Montreal site to find out more.
