Job Posted May 23, 2005 Yeah, CNN covered the NIF's production of the world's most powerful laserbeam, possibly capable of producing energy comparable to the sun's core. Cool, huh? 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted May 23, 2005 What they mean is that the energy source is of the same kind as in the center of the sun -- that is, nuclear fusion. It is not comparable in magnitude. As a matter of fact, though, fusion reactors have long been able to produce temperatures far greater than in the core of the sun. 0 Share this post Link to post
