    I did it for you!

    This heat output is about 20% higher than the previous record and twenty times higher than the net positive reaction that made headlines recently.

    It’s worth noting that the “twenty times higher” isn’t the takeaway here as two different fusion methods were used. The article describes a significant, incremental milestone - not a ridiculously large leap forward.

    The lab that conducted this experiment will be closing down soon, so this achievement is seen as the JET lab’s swan song.
