A laser with reactions once thought unachievable that have been achieved again and again.
Ready.
Back in December, California scientists made a major breakthrough: a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than was used to create it.
Well, scientists have done it again, and this time their results produced even more energy.
And while these scientific advances are groundbreaking, they only highlight part of the story.
Something else is going on at NIF.
