Physicists demonstrate conditions for laser-driven fusion

http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-03-physic...ven-fusion.html


(PhysOrg.com) -- Currently, commercial nuclear power plants generate electricity using nuclear fission, in which an atom’s nucleus is split into lighter nuclei. But scientists are also researching the reverse reaction, nuclear fusion, in which two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a single heavier nucleus. Compared with fission, fusion has the potential to produce less radioactive waste while still generating large amounts of energy
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them."

Re: Physicists demonstrate conditions for laser-driven fusion

Erg interessant artikel om door te lezen; wat er allemaal bij komt kijken voor fusie. Toch zijn we nog ver af. Dit artikel omschrijft alleen een experiment waarin enkel de condities voor ontbranding (ignition) worden gesimuleerd. We zijn nog jaren af van echte kernfusie.
