Nature News : The US National Ignition Facility (NIF) in Livermore, California, is almost ready to fire up its 192 laser beams to re-create the Sun’s fusion burn.
The last of the project’s 6,206 optics units -- the mostly glass and crystal components that focus the lasers onto a tiny target -- was installed on 26 January.
