Researchers, building on findings from work involving the Large Hadron Collider, have found a theoretical new form of energy. This new, renewable option is more powerful than nuclear by fusing quarks into baryons, which could produce approximately 138 MeV of net energy — about eight times more than what hydrogen fusion releases.



While the team is yet to fuse bottom quarks, which they argue is technically possible using the LHC, their study presents another potentially renewable source of energy — one that could be more powerful than any that’s currently available. With the theory largely proven, it is now only a matter of developing the technology that could turn quark fusion into a reality.
