Aiden McMillan, a seventh-grader from Dallas ISD, is seeking a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion. He began building a nuclear fusion machine at the age of 8, spending two years studying nuclear physics before starting prototypes.

His project was supported by Launchpad, a nonprofit makerspace in West Dallas. After four years of effort, McMillan successfully produced nuclear fusion at age 12, marking a significant achievement in his scientific journey. The project was driven by curiosity and aims to contribute to future energy solutions.
