* However, it is easy to understand why - the possibility of ICF using commercially available lasers and easily fabricated targets could be unsettling to some.
To be a little more specific: (from the abstract) Clusters of condensed deuterium of densities up to 10^29 atoms per CC in pores in solid oxide crystals were confirmed... Based on these facts, a … possible conclusions … may lead to a simplification of laser driven fusion energy including electron beams or side-on ignition of low compressed solid fusion fuel. END of paraphrase. Off-the-cuff implication: with that kind of density, even in a nano-pore, which if I am not mistaken puts it into the range of a supernova - hydrogen should work fine and we do not even need the extra expense of deuterium. Query: is this related to the Rossi rumors ??
