Nature - A burning plasma, a critical step towards self-sustaining fusion, is achieved at the US National Ignition Facility, with a subset of experiments demonstrating fusion self-heating beyond...
U.S. government scientists said on Wednesday they have taken an important step in the long trek toward making nuclear fusion - the very process that powers stars - a viable energy source for humankind.

i love this phrase xd

we could say we are making mini-star reactors(edited)

sounds dope

"Now, for the first time, fusion reactions occurring in the fuel provided most of the heating - so fusion is starting to dominate over the heating we did. This is a new regime called a burning plasma," Zylstra said.

"Fusion energy is the holy grail of clean limitless energy," said Annie Kritcher of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, lead designer for the experiments conducted in 2020 and 2021 at the National Ignition Facility and first author of a companion paper published in the journal Nature Physics.
As far as I'm aware the designs we have for fusion reactors are incapable of runaway reactions, if the reaction gets out of control containment for the plasma fails and the reaction halts immediately
Ubisoft's man in charge of their NFT project Quartz says that the negative reaction was expected and explains that players just don't understand it
"We know it's not an easy concept to grasp"
Ubisoft will also continue with their NFTs plans
