US scientists have made a significant breakthrough in the decades-long quest for a source of unlimited renewable energy, using a fusion reaction to generate more energy than required for ignition for the first time ever.
For the first time, researchers said they were able to produce more energy from a nuclear fusion reactor than was put into it.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) and DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced the achievement of fusion ignition at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). On 5 December, a team at LLNL’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to reach this milestone—known as scientific...
