A phenomenon previously unseen in our planet.
Fusion ignition has been achieved at the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), an advance with the potential to herald a new era in clean energy.
2022 was great for science, with historic space missions to archeological discoveries and plenty to learn in medicine.
US researchers are expected to present a purported "breakthrough" in nuclear fusion, asserting that break-even has been reached. In their attempt to use nuclear fusion to provide plentiful, carbon-free energy, scientists achieved a significant breakthrough. However, they still have a ways to go.
Is nuclear fusion just a dream or is it achievable?
