A bit technical video of what is behind the latest in fusion at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL’s) National Ignition Facility (NIF)

Must note while the papers where released this August the experiments performed where conducted nearly a year ago.

Please bare through the intro. The interesting details will soon come.

On the one-year anniversary of achieving a yield of more than 1.3 megajoules at LLNL’s National Ignition Facility, the scientific results of this record experiment have been published in three peer-reviewed papers: one in Physical Review Letters and two in Physical Review E. This stylized image shows a cryogenic target used for these record-setting inertial fusion experiments. Image by James Wickboldt/LLNL.

Hope you find it as interesting as I did. Though a little bit disappointing.

interesting but a little disappointing appears to be a theme with laser energy facilities everywhere lol

@plungesponge there's some more encouraging work being done on the tokamak reactors...
