The process of getting more energy out of the experiment than was put in is called “ignition.” All the hype over fusion ignition is about getting more energy than you put it, which would be great for producing a renewable, clean energy resource. Theoretically, if this process was repeated...
"The day you get more energy out than you put in, the sky's the limit," American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson told CBS News. Nuclear fusionhas been considered the holy grail of energy creation that some say could save humans from extinction. It combines two hydrogen atoms, which the...
In the past, no experiment could make more energy than what was used to start the fusion engine.wThis new experiment, although only lasting five seconds, showed it’s possible to make more power. 翻译 点击下方空白处...
"This is important. Earlier results were records, but not yet producing more energy out than was put in," Andrew Holland, the CEO of the industry's trade group, theFusion Industry Association, told CNBC. "For the first time on Earth, scienti...
Nuclear fusion is back in the news.This week, the US Department of Energyannouncedwhat it called a “major scientific breakthrough” in fusion power research:for the first time, a fusion experiment had produced more energy than the energy used to kick off the reaction. It’s not the first...
“There's about 10 times more energy coming out of a fusion process [than] out of a fission process. And back to the idea of taking cues from nature … the universe isn't driven by combustion and it isn't driven...
根据第二段“For the first time, researchers created a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than they put into the process. (研究人员第一次创造了一种核聚变反应,其产生的能量比他们投入的能量还要多)”可知,这一巨大突破是指首次产生了能量产出大于投入的核聚变反应,故选D。【小题2】细节...
The laser that will fire at targets this fall at the National Ignition Facility in Livermore, California, isn't just more energetic than other lasers; it produces beams with 60 times as much energy. What to do with all that power? Ignite a nuclear-fusion reaction, of course. All two ...
Fusion is the dominant source of energy for stars in the universe. It is also a potential energy source on Earth, if scientists can figure out how to get more energy out of the reaction than it requires to initiate it. When set off in an intentionally uncontrolled chain reaction, nuclear ...
But that experiment still used more energy as input than it generated. Another team in California, however, managed to produce a net amount of fusion energy in December 2022, in a process called “ignition.” They have replicated ignition three times since. Despite the promising progress, fusion...
