"Breakthrough: Nuclear Fusion Sets New World Record for Energy Output"

TL;DR Summary
The United Kingdom's Joint European Torus (JET) has set a new world record for nuclear fusion energy output, generating 69.26 megajoules of energy from just 0.21 milligrams of fuel, equivalent to the energy from 2 kilograms of coal. This breakthrough showcases the potential of nuclear fusion technology, with JET serving as a pathfinder for future prototypes like ITER and DEMO. While commercial fusion power stations are still years away, these advancements demonstrate the progress and multiple paths toward achieving this goal.
