Re: Article on laser driven pB11 fusion

Was researching this one over lunch and the real benefit to this design is no vacuum is needed; the fusion is achievable in atmosphere. If diode-pumped lasers achieve a few more advances outside this research, the design also benefit drastically. 50 joule laser math (per the paper 2019) is pretty mu...
