U.S. scientists announced on Wednesday an important milestone in the costly,
decades-old quest to develop fusion energy, which, if harnessed successfully, promises
a nearly inexhaustible energy source for future generations.

For the first time, experiments have produced more energy from fusion reactions than
the amount of energy put into the fusion fuel, scientists at the federally funded Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory in California said.

The researchers, led by physicist Omar Hurricane, described the achievement as important
but said much more work is needed before fusion can become a viable energy source.
They noted that did not produce self-heating nuclear fusion, known as ignition, that
would be needed for any fusion power plant.

Researchers have faced daunting scientific and engineering challenges in trying to develop
nuclear fusion – the process that powers stars including our sun – for use by humankind.

“Really for the first time anywhere, we’ve gotten more energy out of this fuel than was put
into the fuel. And that’s quite unique. And that’s kind of a major turning point, in a lot of
our minds,” Hurricane told reporters.
