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.

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

Forward-looking: While the path to practical fusion energy remains long, the recent advances at the National Ignition Facility have emboldened researchers. The facility's ongoing progress is a ...

According to TechCrunch, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory recently pushed its fusion yield—first to 5.2 megajoules, and then to 8.6 megajoules ...

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 to 8.6 megajoules ...

we can operate more nimbly than large-scale facilities like particle accelerators or the National Ignition Facility," said John Nees, U-M research scientist in electrical and computer engineering ...

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 ...

But two years ago, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility generated a pulse of more heat energy than its lasers directed at a small target of heavy isotopes – a ...
