US lab repeats nuclear fusion feat, with higher yield
Washington (AFP) - US scientists responsible for a historic nuclear fusion breakthrough say they have repeated the feat -- this time achieving a greater yield of energy. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory stunned the world in December when it announced it had carried out an experimental nuclear reaction that put out more energy than was put into it, a holy grail of science in the quest for unlimited, clean power to end the era of fossil fuels. "We can confirm the experiment produced a higher yield than the December 2022 experiment," public information officer Paul Rhien said Monday in ...
