Laser Fusion Could Get to Commercial Fusion
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6XFGK)
Lawrence Livermore proved over 4X power gain from laser fusion in April 2025. Upgrading to 3.0MJ laser power would take more upgrades but could deliver 20-40X gain. This would be well on the way to proving the 100-200X science gain that is believed to be needed for viable commercial fusion reactor designs. There would also ...
