Breakthrough in Fusion Energy: Achieving Net Energy Gain in Fusion Reaction

US government scientists have achieved a net energy gain in a fusion reaction, a major breakthrough in the pursuit of limitless zero-carbon power. This milestone, known as net energy gain or target gain, has eluded scientists since the 1950s. Fusion reactions emit no carbon and produce no long-lived radioactive waste, making them a clean and abundant alternative to fossil fuels. While commercial viability is still a long way off, this achievement could lead to a clean and limitless source of energy in the future.
