Don't hold your breath, but this one sounds more serious than the last one. I hope their results can be reproduced by independent researchers, this time.

This looks very interesting Chacal. Apparently there already is independent verification.

Looks like it was reproduced, (look at the bottom of article). Very interesting. If they can capture the 'forces' and make it self -sustaning or better???

Beasty, and to think our government has spent 3 billion dollars to build a thing the size of a football stadium for a split second of fusion. (Which will produce 10,000 times the energy the Earth uses).

Shard is referring to this

http://www.llnl.gov/nif/

But if you read the mission statement about NIF its main purpose (among others) is for strategic defense purposes for the nuclear weapons program.

But Hell's Bells! Whatever it takes to get fusion on the market I am all for it.

Jeez, this is beginning to sound serious. Confirmed by more precise measurements AND validated by theoritical analysis.

Let's hope we use this for clean energy and not for weapons.
