Fusion breakthrough is a milestone for climate, clean energy
CNN By Ella Nilsen and René Marsh, CNN For the first time ever, US scientists at the National Ignition Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California successfully produced a nuclear fusion reaction resulting in a net energy gain, a source familiar with the project confirmed to …
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm will reportedly announce a breakthrough in nuclear fusion Tuesday in which scientists achieved a fusion reaction with a net energy gain.
Researchers working with lasers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are expected to say they made a major advance that could lead to future energy sources.
If true, this would be a key turning point in the decades-long quest to produce energy from the same forces that power our sun, and that can do so without the carbon emissions from fossil fuels or the radioactive waste created by nuclear fission.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm announced a "major scientific breakthrough" Tuesday in the decades-long quest to harness fusion, the energy that powers the sun and stars.
Researchers have reportedly for the first time achieved net energy gain — where they produced more energy in a fusion reaction than was used to ignite it.
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory say they've produced a nuclear fusion reaction that generated more energy than it required to ignite.
U.S. physicists have accomplished a feat the world has pursued for more than 60 years: producing more energy from fusion than required to create the reaction. Called energy’s “holy grail,”…
By Ella Nilsen, CNN US Department of Energy officials announced a history-making accomplishment in nuclear fusion Tuesday: For the first time, US scientists produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy they used to power the experiment.
US researchers announced a historic nuclear fusion breakthrough on Tuesday, hailing a "landmark achievement" in the quest for a source of unlimited, clean power and an end to reliance on fossil fuels.
The National Lab and Department of Energy announced a nuclear reaction that generated more energy than was required to power it — a first for humankind.
Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California for the first time produced more energy in a fusion reaction than was used to ignite it, something called net energy gain.
