A new study, in which researchers have experimentally confirmed the possibility of generating muons using so-called laser-wakefield accelerators of charged particles, removes the last fundamental obstacle to creating an entirely new generation of rocket engines—engines based on muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion. What is it? How does it work? Why do we need muons, and how do lasers come into play? We’ll figure it all out in today’s video!
