LOS ANGELES( AFP)-Nuclear scientists using lasers the size of three football fields said on Tuesday( Aug 17) they had generated a huge amount of energy from fusion, possibly offering hope for the development of a new clean energy source. Experts focused their giant array of almost 200 laser beams onto a tiny spot to create a mega blast of energy-eight times more than they had ever done in the past. Although the energy only lasted for a very short time-just 100 trillionths of a second-it took sci
