This is a historic milestone in the quest for a clean nuclear energy source.
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California have made a major breakthrough in the field of nuclear fusion, sparking hope for a new carbon-free power source.
Nuclear fusion has long been seen as a potential solution to the world's energy needs, as it could provide abundant electricity without emitting greenhouse gasses or producing long-lasting nuclear waste.The team at Lawrence Livermore Lab used a method called inertial confinement at the National Ignition Facility to target a tiny sphere of deuterium-tritium fuel with 192 lasers, generating X-rays inside a gold can and imploding the sphere of fuel. The lasers delivered 2.
, which means that fusion could be the carbon-free energy source of the future but not of the current global energy transition.Still, the team at Lawrence Livermore Lab is determined to keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible with nuclear fusion. In order to do this, they will need to perfect the use of the laser and keep increasing the amount of energy produced in the reaction.
