"using 192 lasers housed inside a 10-story building to deliver 1.9 megajoules of ultraviolet energy onto a fuel capsule roughly the size of a ball bearing... causes separate atoms to fuse into helium, a reaction that releases vast amount of energy... to have the fusion reactions become the primary source of heat instead... a burning plasma state where more fusion energy is emitted from the fuel than was required to initiate the fusion reactions, or the amount of work done on the fuel”
