Hey, congrats Sandia! http://news.sciencemag.org/physics/2014/10/z-machine-makes-progress-toward-nuclear-fusion
-- Owen Scientists are reporting a significant advance in the quest to develop an alternative approach to nuclear fusion. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, using the lab's Z machine, a colossal electric pulse generator capable of producing currents of tens of millions of amperes, say they have detected significant numbers of neutrons <http://news.sciencemag.org/physics/2014/10/z-machine-makes-progress-toward-nuclear-fusion> — byproducts of fusion reactions — coming from the experiment. This, they say, demonstrates the viability of their approach and marks progress toward the ultimate goal of producing more energy than the fusion device takes in.
