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.

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.

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

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

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 February, the US’s National Ignition Facility fired off its seventh laser shot, generating a record-breaking amount of energy for a laser-ignited fusion reaction. Ca ...

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 ...
