      Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough

      On December 2022, researchers from the National Ignition Facility achieved fusion ignition for the first time in history. The energy potential of nuclear fusion is superior to all other sources of energy that we know on Earth. Controlled nuclear fusion releases nearly four million times more energy than the chemical reactions that occur when burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, or gas.
