US scientists set to announce fusion energy breakthrough

The U.S. Department of Energy is expected to announce a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion research, which could eventually create a limitless and clean source of power that would end reliance on fossil fuels. Manuel Bojorquez reports.

Scientists make major clean energy breakthrough

Scientists announced a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion. They were able to coax more power out of an experiment than they put in.

Scientists announce nuclear fusion breakthrough

In December 2022, California scientists achieved a major breakthrough -- a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than was used to create it. Scientists have done it again and this time their results produced even more energy. Professor Peter Hosemann, chair of nuclear and mechanical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, joins CBS News to discuss the implications of this accomplishment.
