DT implosion
Colorized image of a deuterium-tritium (DT) target implosion at NIF, captured back in 2016 - six years before the giant 192-beam experiment first achieved fusion with energy gain. Startup Longview, with former NIF director Edward Moses at the helm, is now working with construction giant Fluor to design a commercial power plant using the same approach, but with much more modern and efficient lasers.
