Researchers in the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory think lithium vapor could help control the sun-like temperatures needed to create cleaner renewable energy.

The research helped the scientists decide that a cave shape is the best housing for vapor lithium, as opposed to a nearly enclosed box.

If fusion power can be commercialized, it would provide a groundbreaking energy source that produces no heat-trapping air pollution.
