Physicists create nuclear fusion reactions that produce more energy than the fuel involved — the power at work in the sun and other stars. It may be a step toward a cleaner form of nuclear energy.It took 192 lasers and a building big enough to contain three football fields, but physicists have finally produced a pair of nuclear fusion reactions that created more energy than was in the fuel to start with.
