Scientists have been striving to achieve fusion ignition for decades.
Scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) announced a major breakthrough for nuclear fusion on Tuesday, December 13. In a historic first, they achieved fusion ignition during a nuclear fusion experiment. This means they produced more energy than they put into their fusion experiment, paving the way for practically limitless clean energy production from nuclear fusion.
Here’s why that achievement was described as a “history-making” moment by US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm during the announcement event.
