For the first time in history, a fusion reactor has produced more energy than it consumed over a sustained period. The breakthrough brings humanity closer to the dream of virtually unlimited clean energy.
"This is the moment we've been working toward for decades," said the project director. "Fusion power could provide clean energy for thousands of years using fuel extracted from seawater."
While commercial fusion plants are still years away, this achievement proves the technology is viable and accelerates investment in fusion energy worldwide.
