Building the World's Most Powerful Laser New lasers will be key to making fusion energy and proton therapy practical. A startup snags funding to start early work on a low-budget test reactor. Researchers at a California National Lab will soon attempt to start self-sustaining fusion reactions using the world's largest lasers. If it works, it could be a first step on the road to abundant fusion power. The secretary of energy talks with Technology Review about the future of nuclear power post Yucca Mountain and why fuel-cell cars have no future. The World's Biggest Laser Powers Up Now complete, the National Ignition Facility could soon create controlled fusion using lasers. Better Control for Fusion Power A new control process may enable practical fusion reactors. Lab experiments suggest that future fusion reactors could use helium-3 gathered from the moon. A new device clears an obstacle to a type of fusion power plant. [1]
