Call him Springfield's resident genius. Andrew Grzankowski, a graduate of West Springfield High School, spent his summer vacation building a fusion reactor at Longwood University in Farmville.

"I wanted to do something different," said Grzankowski, now a senior at Longwood. "I read a magazine article about a high school student who did this and I figured we should be able to get better equipment."
