Fusion ignition has been achieved
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) today (Dec. 13) announced the achievement of fusion ignition at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) — a major scientific breakthrough decades in the making that will pave the way for advancements ...
More than 50% more energy was generated than was used for the reaction. 2.05 Megajoules in, 3.15 Megajoules out. Let's see how fast the US fossil fuel oligarchs start creating anti-fusion propaganda like they did with fission.
if we're lucky, China has already gotten to this point without revealing it 🤞
I noticed China have a custom of reveal their scientific achievements only when completely waterpoof, so not impossible.
A pity it's USA, but now when it's proven possible with current tech, i expect other projects to get there sooner or later. Especially looking at France and China.
