Finally! Nuclear fusion scientists achieved net energy production in a historic first

Posted by in categories: innovation, nuclear energy

This new breakthrough opens the door to limitless clean energy.

The time has finally come. Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are the first in the world to demonstrate net energy production from nuclear fusion.

In other words, theirs was the first ever nuclear fusion experiment to produce more energy than was required to run the experiment in the first place.

Researchers achieved the milestone, also known as fusion ignition, at LLNL’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) during a controlled fusion experiment last Monday, Dec. 5, according to a statement from the US Department of Energy (DOE). They waited for peer-review results before revealing the results to the world.
