NIF Achieves Historic Fusion Energy Breakthrough

Independent reviews confirm NIF's laser-powered fusion reaction produced more energy than consumed, marking a significant milestone in fusion research.

Five independent teams have verified the National Ignition Facility's claim of achieving 'scientific breakeven' in fusion energy.
The breakthrough experiment used lasers to generate a fusion reaction that produced 3.15 megajoules of energy from 2.05 megajoules consumed.
Subsequent experiments have further improved energy yield, with one producing 3.88 megajoules from the same energy input.
Experts caution that while the results are promising, significant challenges remain before fusion can be used as a commercial power source.
The achievement could herald a new era in nuclear fusion research and power generation, offering a potential path to clean, inexhaustible energy.
