The method is different from the controversial cold fusion in that temperatures go well above room temperature.

If new computer simulations pan out in the real world, nuclear fusion, the power source that makes stars like our sun shine, may be a practical possibility here on Earth, scientists say.

Simulations at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico revealed a fusion reactor that surpasses the “break-even” point of energy input versus energy output, indicating a self-sustaining fusion reaction.
