00:00A heated lithium tantalate crystal triggers tabletop nuclear fusion.
00:04Slight temperature changes create a massive electrical field.
00:08This field accelerates deuterium atoms to extreme speeds.
00:13They smash into a target and release real neutrons.
00:17Rensselaer Polytechnic scientists proved this works at room temperature.
00:22This pocket-sized physics setup requires zero massive machinery.
