The fusion breakthrough that the US Energy Department announced this week is scientifically significant, but the significance relates to the monitoring of the country's nuclear weapons stockpike, not to clean electricity generation.

Every Friday, GoLocalProv takes a look at who is rising and who is falling in Rhode Island and national politics, business, culture, and sports.

LLNL researchers create more energy from fusion than is needed to drive it, promising cleaner power and nuclear weapons stewardship.

For the first time ever, scientists achieve net energy production for nuclear fusion after decades of testing and experimenting.

LIVERMORE – In a stunning experiment last week, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s giant National Ignition Facility finally lived up to its name, igniting fusion fuel with precisely tailored laser pulses

The Energy Department announced Tuesday that scientists produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it for the first time, in a historic breakthrough.

Fusion energy promises to supply the world with clean, carbon-free energy - a development that can dismantle the fossil fuel industry.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced on Wednesday the achievement of fusion ignition at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)—a major scientific breakthrough decades in the making
