    IT'S CONFIRMED! LASER FUSION EXPERIMENT HIT A CRITICAL MILESTONE IN
    POWER GENERATION (4 MINUTE READ) [9]

    A series of papers detailing the US National Ignition Facility's 2022 achievement of a break-even fusion reaction have passed peer review.
    In the breakthrough experiment of December 2022, lasers fired 2.05
    megajoules of energy into a fuel source, which resulted in 3.15 MJ
    being released. Researchers have fired more energetic lasers and
    produced even more energy in several experiments since. Links to the
    five peer-reviewed papers are available at the end of the article.
