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:

    Shower thought: maybe with advances in fusion we could replicate the fusing of heavy elements from more abundant lighter elements and thus build the resources like tritium and create an infinite energy loop.

      that is sort of the idea, yes.

      the energy will be so abundant that we can do wild shit like making dwindling resources like helium as a byproduct of our energy production cycles.

        I really hope this pans out, we, as a species, could really use some good news.
