United Kingdom – A 13-year-old public school boy from Preston, England has become the youngest person ever to successfully carry out atomic fusion.   Jamie Edwards built a nuclear reactor before successfully smashing two hydrogen atoms together, making helium through nuclear fusion.

Notice how he erected a chicken wire faraday cage around his classroom experiment to avoid external magnetic interference.    He built his nuclear reactor in his garage at home, then took it to school and successfully smashed two hydrogen atoms together (fused) to make helium.
