LANL, LLNL Achieve Fusion Ignition with Groundbreaking Approach

By Los Alamos National Laboratory

A Los Alamos National Laboratory-led team working in conjunction with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has achieved ignition using LLNL's National Ignition Facility. The team conducted an experiment on June 22, 2025, that generated a yield of 2.4 megajoules (MJ) of energy, with a measurement uncertainty of +/- 0.09 MJ, and created a self-sustaining feedback loop called a burning plasma.
