When I hold something that's radioactive, it's kind of an indescribable feeling. It's kind of like when I'm with my girlfriend. Taylor Wilson feltgirlfriendhold Change image and share on social
I was about 10 when I got into nuclear science. That was when that spark hit me. It took a few years of research, but when I was 14, I produced my first nuclear-fusion reaction. Taylor Wilson fusionhitnuclear Change image and share on social
I don't mean to offend anybody, but I think that we get a lot of scientists now who are bent into a system, and we lose some of their boldness by that. Obviously, you have to learn the ropes, but I think it's important to do that without hammering out the radicalness that makes innovation happen. Taylor Wilson bendboldnesshammer share on social
I really have become convinced that nuclear fusion is our energy future. It's so powerful. I mean, it is the power of the stars. If we could bring that down to the laboratory and to the power plant on Earth, that would be an incredible thing. Taylor Wilson bringconvinceearth share on social
I've been focused on detecting nuclear terrorism at ports, in cargo containers, and I developed and built detectors that are extremely cheap and also very sensitive. My other big development is a system to produce medical isotopes that are injected into patients and used to diagnose and treat cancer. Taylor Wilson bigbuildcancer share on social
