U.S. scientists have achieved net energy gain in a fusion reaction for the second time since December, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory said on Sunday.
On Reddit this would be about time for people to come and pour cold water all over this by putting it in context and explaining why the breakthrough is only a small incremental step on a path that could still lead to nowhere. Do we have physics nerds here on Lemmy that know enough to ruin this so we don’t get too excited?
ehh kbin/lemmy/other related platforms are still small, maybe once reddit gets a reputation for being an unreliable shithole some of the nerds will start coming over.
Eli-DA. Because on this subject I am. Does it scale? Joules aren’t really a measurement used in industrial electricity, which I am familiar with. kW and kWh are though. So it looks like 1gigajoule output is 277.77kWh?
