| Star power: recent experiments at the US National Ignition Facility suggest that the 192-beam laser system is close to achieving the long-held goal of inertial confinement fusion with energy gain, or "burn". Focused Energy, now backed by investors including former baseball star Alex Rodriguez, will look to build a fast-repetition-rate version of the NIF setup, with the potential for future use in gigawatt-scale generation of clean energy.
