Thread: National Ignition Facility Discussion

anyone have any recent news of the National Ignition Facility in America?

Last I heard they managed to control Plasma in the reaction with their lasers (a big hurdle to overcome as many predictions said it would stand in the way of fusion) and they were recently installing the cryogenics for the 'real' test............

just a bump to see if anyone would like to contribute..............

yep............it is a very interesting project...........there are also video lectures on youtube given by the Principal Associate Director...........mostly aimed at a less informed audience but very enlightening.
