• INSIDE THE COLOSSAL QUEST FOR LIMITLESS ENERGY
  Around the world, the race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion. In a small town in the south of France, a scientific megaproject of extraordinary dimension is inching closer to solving our global energy needs forever—by building a star on Earth.
• HOW NUCLEAR FUSION WORKS
  Nuclear fusion holds the promise of nearly limitless emission-free energy. The catch: figuring out how to create and then harness the power of a star here on Earth, which requires temperatures of at least 270 million degrees Fahrenheit. When fully operational, ITER could very well provide a template for producing the fuel of the future.
• THE RACE FOR FUSION
  ITER is by far the largest nuclear fusion endeavor, but it is by no means the only one. Government facilities like those at the Max Planck Institute and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, as well as private companies like Zap Energy and TAE Technologies, are testing different methods to achieve fusion. Over the past four years, funding for the private industry has nearly quadrupled.
• At Work in THE WORLD’S DEADLIEST GARDEN
  Hemlock, hogweed, and hazmat suits. What it takes to tend to over a hundred plants that could kill you.
• A SHERPA’S STEEPEST CLIMB
  Last year, at age 18, Nima Rinji Sherpa became the youngest climber to summit the world’s 14 tallest peaks. His next challenge is even trickier: overcoming the conceptions of what roles Sherpas play within the industry—and how pro climbers are anointed.
• WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A PRO MOUNTAINEER IN 2025
  Getting paid to climb isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. Today’s aspiring pros need to be as savvy at branding as they are on the mountain. From his catchy slogan of #sherpa-power to tactical collaborations with established names in the mountaineering and conservation world, Nima Rinji Sherpa is working to score the digital clout necessary for success.
• Seeing Life Through a BUG’S EYES
  A Japanese photographer hacked his camera—and revealed a strange and curious scene right underfoot.
• UNDERSTANDING THE RISE OF ADULT ADHD
  Millions of grown-ups are now being diagnosed with what was once thought to be a childhood condition: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. What did health-care providers miss? And how do you know if you’re affected?
• What Makes Adult ADHD Different
  Researchers are taking a fresh look at why symptoms of the disorder seem to shift as we get older—and what that means for people already coping with a world of distractions.
• How to Determine if You’re at Risk
  Scientists are mapping the characteristics that adults with ADHD share—and finding new coping strategies for people living with the disorder.
• Why Women Are the New Face of ADHD
  ADHD has traditionally been associated with unruly boys. But today, psychologists are studying the way it impacts women to help evolve our understanding of the disorder.
• This GIBBON can do the ROBOT
  Decoding the uncanny moves of Asia’s dancing apes
• HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH A FIRESTORM
  Scientists say that the fires ravaging the western United States are burning differently these days. For one landscape photographer, documenting the aftermath requires a new approach as well.
• What do THE WORLD’S OLDEST TATTOOS Mean?
  A new breed of archaeologists wants to unravel some ancient mysteries by studying long-overlooked body art.
• SEARCHING FOR SLEEP MODE
  PUTTING HUMANS INTO HIBERNATION IS A SCI-FI CONCEPT THAT COULD REVOLUTIONIZE MEDICINE AND TRANSFORM SPACE TRAVEL. IT’S ALSO A LOT CLOSER TO BECOMING REAL THAN YOU MIGHT THINK.
