Description
Scientists in Britain say they have smashed a previous record for generating "sustained" fusion energy, on the protracted path towards harnessing a power source considered cheap and clean. A team at the Joint European Torus (JET) facility near Oxford in central England generated 59 megajoules of sustained energy during an experiment in December, more than doubling a 1997 record.
