lasers

Drilling for ice cores in the Antarctic has its perks, like hearing the freaky sound of ice dropping down an extremely long ice tube. It legit sounds like they're shooting a space western down there.

Well there you have it. Apparently cats aren't the only thing that will follow a laser pointer around. In all honesty it's probably a bad idea to piss off a wild alligator with a laser pointer.

WARNING: Volume!

Researchers at a laboratory in California say they've had a breakthrough in producing fusion power with a giant laser. The success comes after years of struggling to get the laser to work and is another step in the decades-long quest for fusion energy.

Omar Hurricane, a researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, says that for the first time, they've produced significant amounts of fusion by zapping a target with their laser. "We've gotten more energy out of the fusion fuel than we put into the fusion fuel," he says.
