An experiment at the US Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL’s) National Ignition Facility (NIF) has taken a significant step toward ignition, achieving a yield of more than 1.3 megajoules (MJ). NIF said on 8 August. This advancement puts researchers at the threshold of fusion ignition, an important goal of NIF, leading the way to a new experimental regime. The experiment was enabled by focusing laser light from NIF — the size of three football fields — onto a target to produce a hot-spot the diameter of a human hair, generating more than 10 quadrillion watts of fusion power for 100 trillionths of a second.
