Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough explained simply - What it does and how it works

Helpful Links:

What is nuclear fusion? How is it different from other energy sources? Is Nuclear fusion a clean energy? Is Nuclear fusion renewable? What does unlocking nuclear fusion mean for the future of sustainable energy?
Nuclear fusion is a process in which atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy as a result. The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) achieved a nuclear fusion breakthrough where they successfully produced net energy gain from a nuclear fusion reactor. Many ask ‘How does nuclear fusion work?’, and this video explains nuclear fusion energy. It also explains the implication of this recent breakthrough
