Here’s how scientists reached nuclear fusion ‘ignition’ for the first time

One of nuclear fusion’s biggest advances wouldn’t have happened without some impeccable scientific artistry.

Scientists also discovered a long-predicted heating effect that could expose the physics of other violent environments, such as exploding stars called supernovas. “People say a dry subject,” Norreys says. “But I always think that physics is at the very forefront of creativity,”Fusion, the same process that takes place in the sun, is an appealing energy source. Fusion power plants wouldn’t emit greenhouse gases.

The team also thickened the capsule’s diamond shell by about 7 percent — a difference of just a few micrometers — which slowed down the capsule’s implosion, allowing the scientists to fully capitalize on the longer laser pulse. “That was a quite remarkable achievement,” Norreys says.
