Breakthrough in nuclear fusion could mean ‘near-limitless energy’

According to a report in the Financial Times, which has yet to be confirmed by the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California that is behind the work, researchers have managed to release 2.5 MJ of energy after using just 2.1 MJ to heat the fuel with lasers.

Should see some good outcomes from this in…

…thirty years or so.

Had an earlier thread about this.

I commented that the National Ignition Facility previously explained that it used 4 MJ of infrared energy to produce the 2 MJ of ultraviolet energy that is fed into the device.
