"American scientists have announced what they have called a major breakthrough
in a long-elusive goal of creating energy from nuclear fusion.

The U.S. Department of Energy said on Dec. 13, 2022, that for the first time –
and after several decades of trying – scientists have managed to get more
energy out of the process than they had to put in.

But just how significant is the development? And how far off is the long-sought
dream of fusion providing abundant, clean energy? Carolyn Kuranz, an associate
professor of nuclear engineering at the University of Michigan who has worked
at the facility that just broke the fusion record, helps explain this new
result."
