The US Department of Energy said Sunday it would announce a 'major scientific breakthrough' this week after media reported a federal laboratory had recently achieved a major milestone in nuclear fusion research.
two people familiar with the research confirmed the development, with a senior fusion scientist telling the newspaper,"To most of us, this was only a matter of time".
