The Fusion Moment

In December 2022, scientists at the National Ignition Facility achieved fusion ignition for the first time — producing more energy from a fusion reaction than the laser energy used to trigger it. The milestone was celebrated as a historic breakthrough, but the path from laboratory demonstration to commercial fusion power remains long and uncertain.

The Force That Rules the Universe

In 1998, astronomers discovered that the expansion of the universe is accelerating — driven by a mysterious force called dark energy. Dark energy makes up 68% of the total energy content of the universe, yet its nature is completely unknown. Understanding it is one of the greatest challenges in physics.
