Inside the target chamber at the National Ignition Facility, where researchers work on getting higher energy outputs from fusion power. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC, and the Department of Energy − National Ignition Facility

Nuclear fusion could one day be a viable clean energy source – but big engineering challenges stand in the way

Even once researchers can reliably get more power out of a fusion reaction than they put in, they’ll still need to overcome engineering challenges to scale up fusion energy.
