Scientists achieve 'breakthrough' in fusion technology

After decades of experimentation and billions of dollars in public investment, U.S. government scientists have reportedly achieved a major "breakthrough" in fusion energy technology, a potential game-changer in the critical pursuit of clean, reliable, and low-cost alternatives to fossil fuels and conventional nuclear power.
Citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the results, the Financial Timesreported Sunday that scientists at a federal laboratory in California successfully produced "a net energy gain in a fusion reaction for the first time," a milestone that the Biden administration is expected to announce publicly on Tuesday.
