White House Science and Technology Policy Director Arati Prabhakar called it "an engineering marvel beyond belief".
"This is such a wonderful example of a possibility realised, a scientific milestone achieved, and a road ahead to the possibilities for clean energy," she said at the announcement in Washington.
Fusion technology is the process by which two or more smaller atoms are combined or fused into a bigger one and in nature, it is how the sun and stars are powered.
What makes the breakthrough achieved at the National Ignition Facility (Nif) of the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Laboratory (Llnl) a gamechanger is that it produced more energy than it used for lasers to create fusion, unlike in current energy production methods that consume more power than they put out.
