a result that is set to fuel optimism
I see what they did there.
Hopefully it fuels more than that soon.
This kind of news is the reason I’m still optimistic
This is actually quite promising. It seems the progress is accelerating. ITER is not that far away anymore either, with first plasma in 2025
Ok only another 50 years to go :)
It’s always been 50 years of good funding away. So that’s just going to keep moving.
The reason science always advances so much during big wars is the military is desperate to get any advantage it can so science gets a larger chunk of their budget.
always hear Dan Aykroyd saying, “I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results.”
sure they did
Researchers at weapons facility achieve 2MJ of heat for a cost of tens of MJ of electricity and chemical energy to power single-shot laser fired at target that took at least gigajoules to produce for method that will never have any relevance to energy generation.
But they pinky swear that at some point they might think about electricity so keep giving them a big chunk of the civialian energy budget.
