Scientists achieve a breakthrough in nuclear fusion. Here’s what it means.
A U.S. lab has successfully sparked a fusion reaction that released more energy than went into it. But there’s still a long way to go toward fusion as a clean energy source.
Scientists achieve a breakthrough in nuclear fusion. Here’s what it means. | National Geographic The fusion record was achieved at the National Ignition Facility at California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, which ignites fusion fuel with an array of 192 lasers. These lasers reach high energies thanks in part to devices called preamplifiers (seen here).
