Researchers from the Livermore National Laboratory in the United States for the first time were able to obtain 8.6 megajoules ...

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

Lawrence Livermore proved over 4X power gain from laser fusion in April 2025.

End of 2022, researchers at the NIF succeeded in generating more energy with a fusion reaction than they put into it. Now there are new records.

Realta Fusion, a spin-off from the University of Wisconsin, is hopeful that it will crack the fusion energy puzzle with its ...

The Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak (BEST) nuclear fusion reactor being built in Heifei, China, is in the final phase of its assembly and on track for completion by 2027. When ...

This traces back to the NIF’s roots in the 1990s, when the stockpile stewardship program was set up as an alternative to nuclear weapons testing. Much of this research involves examining how ...

The National Ignition Facility (NIF), based at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has steadily increased the amount of energy produced in its fusion experiments ...

Canned fusion, if it works, would need less power than NIF and shorter plasma-confinement times than ITER; as a result, a working reactor based on its principles might cost tens of millions of dollars ...

Back in December of 2022, a team of researchers at the USA’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) announced that they had exceeded ‘scientific breakeven’ with their laser-based inertial ...

More than 130 experimental nuclear fusion reactors, both public and private ... In addition to the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in California, only five other facilities, all of which are smaller ...
