"If this is true, we are witnessing a moment of history: controlling the power source of the stars is the greatest technological challenge humanity has ever undertaken," said one physicist.After decades of experimentation and billions of dollars in public investment, U.S.
"Physicists have since the 1950s sought to harness the fusion reaction that powers the sun, but no group had been able to produce more energy from the reaction than it consumes," the newspaper observed.
The experiment, according to people aware of the outcome, produced more energy than expected, damaging some of the facility's equipment.on Twitter that"if this is true, we are witnessing a moment of history: controlling the power source of the stars is the greatest technological challenge humanity has ever undertaken."
"Scientists have struggled to show that fusion can release more energy out than is put in since the 1950s, and the researchers at Lawrence Livermore seem to have finally and absolutely smashed this decades-old goal," Turrell continued."This experimental result will electrify efforts to eventually power the planet with nuclear fusion—at a time when we've never needed a plentiful source of carbon-free energy more!"that"the importance of this news cannot be overstated.
"I've been hearing for a few months now that a fusion breakthrough was imminent," Stokes wrote."It seems U.S. scientists have finally done it."
