Scientists announced Tuesday they have for the first time produced more energy in a fusion reaction than was used to ignite it. LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow spoke with Alex Zylstra, a scientist with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, to explain the importance of the development.

Mars rover captures 1st sound of dust devil on red planet

What's a dust devil sound like on Mars? A NASA rover by chance had its microphone on when a whirling tower of red dust passed directly overhead, recording the racket.

Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough: Scientist explains what it means for the future | LiveNOW from FOX
video

U.S. energy officials announced that government scientists in at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory produced the first successful nuclear fusion reaction resulting in net energy gain on Dec. 5. It?s a technology that has the potential to accelerate the planet?s shift away from fossil fuels and produce nearly limitless, carbon-free energy. Dan Clark, a nuclear physicist at the Lawrence Livermore Nat'l Lab, called the moment, "a twinkle in the eye of scientists for 60-70 years." Clark added that the moment wouldn't have been possible without the "decades-long" work done by scientists all around the world.

Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough: scientist calls it 'major step for humanity' | LiveNOW from FOX

U.S. energy officials announced that government scientists in California produced the first successful nuclear fusion reaction resulting in net energy gain. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory said the National Ignition Facility's historic achievement, also known as scientific energy breakeven, occurred on Dec. 5. Michl Binderbauer, the CEO of TAE Technologies, a private company dedicated to commercializing non-radioactive nuclear fusion power and other sustainable technologies called the breakthrough, "a major step for humanity in the right direction." Biderbauer added that the discovery is "transformative," comparing the successful fusion reaction to the first-time a human broke the four-minute mile mark.

Fusion breakthrough at Livermore Lab is a milestone for climate, clean energy

Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California for the first time produced more energy in a fusion reaction than was used to ignite it, something called net energy gain.

'It's raining monkeys!' Florida man records monkeys jumping from trees into river at Silver Springs State Park

When you're exploring the great outdoors in Florida, you might expect to see alligators in the water or native egrets flying above. But as one man and his family were boating down the Silver River in Silver Springs State Park, they probably didn't expect to see monkeys leaping from trees into the water right in front of them.
