At just 12 years old, Jackson Oswalt from Memphis, USA, accomplished an extraordinary feat that captured the attention of the scientific community: he built a working nuclear fusion reactor in his bedroom. Inspired by a TED Talk by teenage physicist Taylor Wilson, Jackson began his journey by assembling a basic “demo fusor” and immersing himself in the complex science behind nuclear fusion.
With support from his parents and equipment like a vacuum pump sourced from eBay, Jackson gradually upgraded his setup to handle the extreme conditions required for fusion. By age 13, he had successfully achieved fusion, drawing national media attention—and even a visit from the FBI to ensure everything was safe and legal.
Though his early prototype could only run briefly due to overheating issues, Jackson’s accomplishment secured his place as one of the youngest individuals in history to achieve nuclear fusion.
But in our country, we would say "oh! It’s a boy.He copied or stole it" Such a shame
