CTOnews.com, December 13 (Xinhua)-- the U.S. Department of Energy announced tonight that a team from its Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has made history by implementing Fusion Ignition (fusion ignition).

The US Department of Energy announced an "announcement that has been brewing for decades" on Twitter. On December 5, 2022, a team at LLNL made history by implementing fusion ignition.

CTOnews.com learned that, according to an official press release, on December 5, a team of LLNL National Ignition Devices (NIF) conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to reach this milestone, also known as scientific energy balance, which means that it generates more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it.

In ▲, 192 laser beams transmit more than 2 million joules of ultraviolet energy to a tiny fuel particle to produce fusion ignition.

▲ in order to produce fusion ignition, the laser energy of the ignition device is converted into X-rays in the cavity, and then the fuel tank is compressed until it implodes, resulting in high temperature and high pressure plasma. You can learn about it in the video below.

For the meaning of "Fusion Ignition" at ▲ Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, you can see this article in the link below, which has a popular explanation.

"Tonight, witness history! Mankind may achieve a "major scientific breakthrough" in controllable nuclear fusion for the first time.
