Commercial Nuclear Fusion May Still Be Decades Away

U.S. scientists at the National Ignition Facility, part of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), announced a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion last week. For the first time ever, scientists successfully produced more energy from a nuclear fusion experiment than the laser energy used to power it. In the infographic below, Visual Capitalist's Mark Belan and Bruno Venditti describe nuclear fusion and illustrate how this discovery may pave the future for a new form of clean and sustainable energy. What is Nuclear Fusion? Nuclear fusion…
