Researchers were able to produce 2.5 megajoules of energy, 120 per cent of the 2.1 megajoules used to power the experiment.

Now we must wait to see if this is an aberration and can be done at scale. I'm ready for the world to change :party-parrot-science:

Government workers got the goods, fuck you capitalism, great 'innovation' you have :fidel-salute:

      i wrote this further upthread before reading yours. great minds think alike.

      my prediction purely based on a book i’m working on: Chinese will crack the commercial reactors first and create highly modular reactors to sell to any nation that wants them. this will finally kill the U.S. dollar.

      and china will start mining He3 from lunar regolith. you only need to send a few tons back a year to fuel a few large countries or many small ones.
