The US National Ignition Facility (NIF) has achieved fusion ignition for the second time, marking a significant milestone. Using some of the world's most powerful lasers, NIF forced hydrogen atoms into new configurations, generating energy. This repeated achievement is crucial for improving the technology and brings us closer to unlocking virtually limitless energy without the drawbacks of radioactive waste or greenhouse-gas emissions.
