Closing fusion's materials and technology gaps (Arabic Edition)

Description

The most challenging science and engineering endeavour on earth is arguably fusion. Building a fusion reactor, achieving a self-sustaining reaction and converting that power to near inexhaustible electricity will change humanity and our relationship with energy forever. As enticing as this may sound, progress has not been easy or smooth. Technical challenges around the structures, fuels and materials needed to hold such complex machines together remain only partially solved.
