the size of a peppercorn. then, in a number of steps, 192 lasers blast the pellet. this sparks a fusion reaction, where the hydrogen atoms join together, releasing energy. what s getting the scientists so excited, though, is for the first time, the energy coming out of the experiment this number, here, 3.15 megajoules is bigger than the number going in, 2.05 megajoules. that s an increase of about 50%. fusion has been exciting scientists since they first figured out what was causing the sun to shine. it is an energy source that will produce no greenhouse gases, no radioactive waste, and it can produce a huge amount of energy from a small amount of fuel. so it offers us the potential of a clean, sustainable energy future. so, is fusion the future? will our cities be powered by it any time soon? well, not yet, and maybe not for a while. the amount of energy generated in the experiment was small enough to boil a few kettles of water, not power cities. and the reaction was also fleet
than the energy used to start the process. it s the first time it has ever been done in a laboratory anywhere in the world. simply put, this is one of the most impressive scientific feats of the 21st century. our science editor, rebecca morelle, explains more. it s been described as the holy grail of energy nuclear fusion. it s the same process that powers the sun and other stars and, what have they done? the experiment takes some hydrogen encased in a tiny pellet, the size of a peppercorn. then, in a number of steps, 192 lasers blast the pellet. this sparks a fusion reaction, where the hydrogen atoms join together, releasing energy. what s getting the scientists so excited, though, is for the first time, the energy coming out of the experiment this number, here, 3.15 megajoules is bigger than the number going in, 2.05 megajoules.
beach, new york. why i g is this issue more impot to you? i had a stepdaughter of stani had to cut back on, vacations, buying cheaper things, not indulging as much. the gas prices are killing me, because i do drive so much for a living. in one day i saw the gas prices go up by 10 cents almost every couple of hours. wow. in the morning it was i don t know $3.15. it went all the way to $3.59 in one day. that really takes a toll. i know you re a nurse, you drive around a lot. yep. a key senate race in ohio between democratic congressman tim ryan and republican author and businessman j.d. vance. that race is too close to call still at this point. here s vance on those top issues of the inflation and the
american people. i think it s outrageous the size of the profit. excess profits are going back to their shareholders, give me a break. enough is enough. it s time for these companies to stop profiteering. john: congressman ro khanna, introduced a bill in congress, any time gas is above 3.15 a gallon, you would ban the export of gasoline outside the country. you would allow diesel fuel to be exported, particularly to europe. and rather than implementing the ban on gas, why not pump more domestically. that would take years. and building more refineries, more production is a long process we can debate. the immediate need is to lower the price at the pump and the
mounted camera, or a bicycle helmet mounted camera, or a bicycle helmet mounted camera to get in touch and see whether they have any information within that footage which could be useful, they are asking people to think whether they were round this area between 3.15 and 4.15 yesterday afternoon because thatis and 4.15 yesterday afternoon because that is the time in which this incident is thought to have taken place. now, round here, as you imagine there is a complete sense of shock, i have been speaking to some neighbour, one gentleman who lives very close to where it took place said this is generally in his view a safe area, he could not believe what had happened. another lady said she is seriously considering moving, having lived here for ten years. she believes she, she is worried about going shopping because as you said earlier no arrests have been made. the mayor of london says he is devastated by this incident, and this will be the sixth murder investigation to be launched in lon
