NIF

A comprehensive look at the state of nuclear fusion in 2026 — the NIF ignition breakthrough, ITER tokamak, stellarators, inertial confinement, and the private companies racing to deliver fusion power to the grid.

How the National Ignition Facility achieved fusion net energy gain for the first time, igniting hope for unlimited clean energy

Fusion is the energy source that powers the Sun. Replicating it on Earth could provide nearly limitless clean energy. After 70 years of effort, we're closer than ever — but harder than expected.
