史上最年輕
Jackson Oswalt managed to fuse two deuterium atoms using a fusor he built in his family playroom in Memphis, Tennessee two years ago when he was 12.

Inspired by Taylor Wilson, a self-taught nuclear physicist who also achieved nuclear fusion at a young age, Jackson decided to build a fusor on his own with the parts he ordered online.
他受到核物理學家泰勒威爾森在年輕時自學完成核融合的啟發，他決定利用網路訂購的零件，自己打造一個核融合裝置。

“I’d say the hardest part was trying to figure out how to make the seal airtight on the chamber, so I spent about probably half a year trying to get the seal correct so that it won’t leak out air,” said Jackson in an interview.
傑克森在受訪時表示：「我認為最難的部分是嘗試找到方法將房間整個密封起來。我大概花了半年才找到正確的密封方法，以防氣體外洩。」

“We didn’t know enough to have reservations,” Jackson’s dad told the reporter.

“I’d like to open an organization that provides funding to kids like myself that aren’t necessarily as fortunate as I am,” said Jackson, who also hopes that nuclear fusion would be cost-effective and a great source of energy that helps to stop climate change.
傑克森說：「我想創立一個組織，為跟我一樣對核融合研究感興趣但不一定像我一樣幸運的孩子提供資金。」他也希望核融合可以是符合成本效益的，並作為一個能解決氣候變遷的替代能源。
