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

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 ...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility increased the yield of the experiment in recent attempts.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is pursuing funding to increase the laser fusion power at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) from 2.2 ...

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.

In 2022, the National Ignition Facility achieved a historic breakthrough: a fusion reaction with a greater output than the energy used to trigger it. This crucial milestone came after 60 years of ...

The researchers tested simplified, subscale hohlraums — gold cavities that house the NIF target — which they iteratively made ...

The first step towards the goal of nuclear fusion triggered by laser beams has been taken with the construction and test firing of the National Ignition Facility in the United States. In the small ...

Earlier this month, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) announced to the world that they had achieved a record 1.3 MJ yield from a fusion experiment at their National Ignition Facility ...

In recent attempts, the team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) increased the yield of the experiment, first to 5.2 megajoules and then again to 8.6 megajoules ...
