Using a 192-beam laser at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility, researchers heated and compressed hydrogen atoms, exceeding solar temperatures.
Just like any scientific accomplishment, researchers must establish that the initial success was not merely a fortunate incident. Therefore, the team convened once more to reproduce the procedure in July of this year.
While data from the experiment is still being analyzed, a spokesperson confirmed that the experiment was aiming for a higher energy yield. According to the webpage of the, a little over two pounds of fusion fuel is capable of generating energy equivalent to 22 million pounds of fossil fuels. Additionally, the process does not release carbon into the atmosphere.
This is the reason for ample excitement around developments in nuclear fusion space. Despite our significant technological progress, it has taken us over seven decades to arrive at this juncture, where we can finally attain a surplus of energy from a fusion reaction. This, though, is still far from being a practical energy solution that can be commercialized.
