The system uses 192 laser beams converging at the center of this giant sphere to make a tiny hydrogen fuel pellet implode. Officials at the Department of Energy say on Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022, there will be an announcement of a"major scientific breakthrough" on nuclear fusion.
"We have had a theoretical understanding of fusion for over a century, but the journey from knowing to doing can be long and arduous," Prabhakar said in a news release."Today's milestone shows what we can do with perseverance.
