Cool, nuclear fusion can't come too soon. Unless it ends up setting fire to the atmosphere, in which case I'm willing to wait a bit.

I read that as being within 1% of the target, not 1% of the target.

i.e. Between 99% and 101% of what they intended.

They produced 1.85 mega joules (1,850,000 J) of UV light which means that the beam lasted:

1.85e6 / 500e12 = 3.7e-9s

Or 0.0000000037s

I don't know what the power consumption would be like on the electrical end, depends on the efficiency of their equipment and storage.

Umm, you do realise that the beam will still travel at the speed of light no matter how powerful it is right? So sending information to other planets will still take the same amount of time.

that is true, I suppose I was thinking more along the lines of attenuation. Wouldn't want any mishaps in the signal now would we!

Definitely interesting! Was a very good read, just wish they posted more details about the results rather than stating they were within 1% of their goal. What was their goal? Fussion? 2% to fussion?

Would love more info.
