    On Dec. 5, 2022, a team at LLNL's @lasers_llnl conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to achieve fusion ignition. Also known as scientific energy breakeven, the experiment produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it.

    On December 5, a team at LLNL’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to reach this milestone, also known as scientific #energy breakeven, meaning it produced more energy from #fusion than the laser energy used to drive it.

    LLNL’s @lasers_llnl took a historic step forward in the decades-long quest for #fusion ignition on Aug. 8, achieving a yield of more than 1.3 megajoules. The milestone puts researchers at the threshold of #ignition & opens the door to new NIF experiments. llnl.gov/news/national-…
