Nuclear fusion: Is infinite energy on the horizon? US researchers have achieved fusion reactions that produce more energy than they consume, and have repeated the ignition several times. Funding for three new laser fusion research centres has been announced by the US government.
Last month the German government announced an additional €370m (£320m; $390m) in funding for nuclear fusion research and development. "We want to create a fusion ecosystem with industry, so that a fusion power plant in Germany becomes reality as quickly as possible," said Minister of Research, Bettina Stark-Watzinger.
