The National Ignition Facility, home of the first net-positive fusion reaction, is back with an even more powerful energy ...

Therefore, hot plasma can be confined by strong magnetic fields. Inertial confinement fusion This approach is based on maximizing density by the rapid compression and heating of a small solid DT ...

Forward-looking: While the path to practical fusion energy remains long, the recent advances at the National Ignition Facility have emboldened researchers. The facility's ongoing progress is a ...

announced that they had exceeded ‘scientific breakeven’ with their laser-based inertial confinement fusion (ICF) system. Their work has now been peer-reviewed and passed scrutiny, confirming ...
