Scientists Achieve Historic Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough, Opening Door to Clean Energy Future
-
NIF researchers achieved a nuclear fusion reaction that created more net energy output than input, a historic breakthrough.
-
Peer review has confirmed the fusion results, opening the door for developing practical fusion reactors.
-
Fusion reactors could provide near-unlimited clean energy to accelerate progress in AI, quantum computing, and other fields.
-
Recreating the complex fusion reaction was challenging, but could serve as a platform for future practical reactors.
-
Once realized, next-generation fusion energy could help overcome energy bottlenecks holding back technologies like AI that require massive power.
