The U.S. Department of Energy announced Tuesday a monumental milestone in nuclear fusion research: a "net energy gain" was achieved for the first time in history by scientists from the Lawrence Livermore Nationa
The NIF is designed to help government scientists to ensure the safety and reliability of the US arsenal of thermonuclear weapons without test detonations, but that’s not what drew Kritcher to the lab initially. She had worked on fusion energy during a summer internship at Livermore in 2004,...
Scientists have made a “breakthrough ” in handling nuclear fusion (聚 ), The US Department of Energy officially announced the milestone in fusion energy research.For the first time, researchers created a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than they put into the process. The exper...
December 5, 2022, will be remembered as the day of the first verified fusion energy success. Achieved by researchers at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the results were hailed around the world as an early, yet vital step toward harnessing fusion en...
First, news of a breakthrough on December 5th 2022, at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNFL) in the US, confirmed the achievement of a fusion milestone: the energy gained from the fusion reactions (3.15 MJ) exceeded the energy in...
Nuclear Fusion: Inside the breakthrough that could change our world On December 5th, scientists at the National Ignition Facility reached a breakthrough in nuclear fusion by producing a reaction with an energy gain. It could be a step toward a world in the distant future where fusion is a so...
Scientists seek $5b for a reactor to build on fusion breakthroughAssociated Press
Fusion built momentum last year when scientists at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California using lasers repeated a fusion breakthrough. Holland says fusion will be providing power to the grid in a decade. Not everyone puts faith in that timeline. "Maybe he means dog...
In a major breakthrough, scientists have demonstrated sustained nuclear fusion energy, providing hope for future large-scale projects. Scientists working at the Joint European Torus (JET) have just broken a record for sustained fusion energy. It is the clearest demonstration of the potential for fus...
But fusion is hard. After 60 years of research by scientists at NIF, they finally generated a reaction (also called "ignition") that produced more energy than it consumed.The breakthrough, in 2022, crucial to ever creating a fusion power plant, made headlines around the world. Humans had ...
