US achieves laser-fusion record: what it means for nuclear-weapons research
Scientists are hopeful that the National Ignition Facility’s recent success will advance understanding of thermonuclear reactions.
Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s flagship laser facility shattered their own record earlier this month by generating more than 10 quadrillion watts of fusion power for a fraction of a second — roughly 700 times the generating capacity of the entire US electrical grid at any given moment. News of the breakthrough has revived hopes that the long-troubled National Ignition Facility (NIF) might yet attain its goal of producing more energy than it consumes in a sustained fusion reaction.
quadrillion = 10^15
