Star Power: Blazing the path to fusion ignition
First in a series of articles describing the elements of the National Ignition Facility's fusion breakthrough. It was the middle of the night on Dec. 5, 2022, and anticipation was building among the handful of researchers and technicians in the National Ignition Facility (NIF) control room. A set of pre-shot simulations had predicted a slightly better than 50-50 chance that the impending nuclear fusion experiment would reach or exceed "break-even " - producing as much or more energy than it used to drive the fusion reaction.

Research captures and separates important toxic air pollutant
Led by scientists at The University of Manchester , a series of new stable, porous materials that capture and separate benzene have been developed. Benzene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) and is an important feedstock for the production of many fine chemicals, including cyclohexane. But, it also poses a serious health threat to humans when it escapes into the air and is thus regarded as an important air pollutant.
