…“The calculation results show enhancements of fusion yields by orders of magnitude with currently available intense low-frequency laser fields,” highlighted the study.
For a collision energy of 1 keV—a level where fusion is normally almost impossible—the application of a 1.55 eV low-frequency laser can transform the reaction rate.
At 10^20 W/cm² intensity, the fusion probability increases by three orders of magnitude, while increasing the intensity to 5×10^21 W/cm² boosts the efficiency by a staggering nine orders of magnitude.
This dramatic increase effectively makes fusion at 1 keV (relatively low temperature) as probable as fusion at 10 keV without laser assistance…



Yep, the days where China simply copied other scientists is mostly over. They have more people, and many of their scientists were educated by the best US universities. It’s not surprising that they are making huge leaps in science.
As for this headline? I couldn’t tell you if it’s true or not. But “Ha, China! Gottem!” is a naive take in the modern world.
Did you even read my last line? I lament that this is my reaction.
Seriously. Your response just makes me think you are not interested in the issue and just want to undermine my statement.
Show me one fucking “breakthrough”, in the last two years" that was actually something and did didn’t just vanish.
I’ll wait.
Or are you just attacking people who are tired of all these bullshit “breakthroughs” that never go anywhere?
