If you take an atom that’s just floating through space, spin it around at a really high temperature, and – pow! – smash it together with another atom to make a big nucleus, you end up with a bigger, more powerful, and stronger atom. In the meantime, there's a big release of energy that we can theoretically capture and turn into electricity. The problem is, it's really hard to keep the reactions going while capturing the energy that this powerful punch produces.

The movement of energy, fluid flow, exists in the water and the air all around us. Jennifer Franck, University of Wisconsin–Madison Assistant Professor of Engineering Physics, studies how these swirls happen, and how scientists are looking to harness it.
