National Ignition Facility
That's no moon...
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) was dedicated on 5/29/2009 and is the world's largest and highest-energy laser. The sphere above is the final chamber where the laser beams converge to a single point, recreating a sun's core (on a very small scale). NIF's mission is to learn the secrets of the sun and pursue fusion research to one day provide abundant clean energy. Tech that will someday be a mr. fusion. Check out the NIF Home to see more videos and info on the project.

We've been getting some spam comments in the past few months, and so have turned on comment moderation, but if you are a real, live person not touting drugs, we'll get your comment up, asap! Also, comments left under user names that are obvious spam keywords (some recent ones: dining room tables, organic baby cribs) will be deleted. Thanks!
