One of the most ambitious science projects ever attempted is underway in France which if successful, could pave the way to unlimited clean energy - forever.
The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is, in simple terms, an attempt to build a star on Earth.
The reactor aims to recreate the process which powers our sun, where elements are fused under extreme temperatures, releasing massive amounts of energy in the process.
To learn more about the project and its possible effects on New Zealand, Newshub Nation spoke with Auckland University Physics Professor David Krofcheck, check out the extended interview above or our original news story here.
More information on ITER and its construction can be found here.
