U.S. Scientists Repeat Breakthrough Fusion Reaction

The science at the center of the current Blockbuster film Oppenheimer is in the spotlight this morning. That's because us scientists have achieved a breakthrough in nuclear fusion for only the second time ever nuclear fusion is where energy is created by merging two light atomic nuclei. Together. Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory near San Francisco said the experiment is a major step forward toward achieving a virtually limitless energy source. It's known as the holy grail of clean energy that requires no fossil fuels and leaves no long term nuclear waste. While researchers described it as one of the most significant scientific challenges ever undertaken by humanity end. And they said the final results are still being analyzed.
