- Scientists using a high-powered laser at the National Ignition Facility in the US have achieved "burning plasma" for the first time, demonstrating for a fleeting moment how the fuel can provide much of the heat needed to keep the reactions going. https://newatlas.com/energy/nuclear-fusion-breakthrough-burning-plasma-first-time/ 32 comments science
- A key goal in nuclear fusion research is to achieve self-heating plasma, and new experiments achieved, for the first time, a burning plasma state where more fusion energy is emitted from the fuel than was required to initiate the fusion reactions, or the amount of work done on the fuel. https://newatlas.com/energy/nuclear-fusion-breakthrough-burning-plasma-first-time/ 3 comments science
