Lawrence Livermore claims a milestone in laser fusion
> Herrmann noted that in previous experiments, neutrons exiting the capsule on one side of the implosion arrived a few picoseconds earlier than did those flying off the opposite way<p>Let’s all just take a step back here and marvel at this statement. We (science-humans) are capable of building a machine that can detect <i>and quantify</i> picosecond level variances in neutrons traveling in an enclosure.  We can do amazing things.<p>Side note - the lab is just down the road from me, I’m proud of my fellow Livermorons, and continue to hope they keep all those megajoules contained.
