After more than half a century of nuclear fusion research, scientists have confirmed a significant breakthrough that could pave the way for an abundant supply of clean energy in the future. Supply of Clean Energy Researchers at the US National Ignition Facility in California said that fusion experiments had released more energy than the lab's large, high-powered lasers had contributed, a momentous achievement known as ignition or energy gain. Scientists hailed the discovery as confirmation that the power of the stars might be harnessed on Earth, despite the fact that the technology...
