In March the journal Nature reported "Laser fusion nears crucial milestone," and quoted Lawrence Livermore National Lab director Ed Moses saying that, as far as the lab's efforts on ignition were concerned: "We have all the capability to make it happen in fiscal year 2012".
At last, confinement time had entered the range needed for ignition; this was a major milestone in fusion research.
The activist, who goes by the nickname Yanzi, looked back at that milestone for Fusion TV's "The Naked Truth: China Queer".
Here the milestone event was fusion of aroQ to a putative tyrAc in the ancestor of lower-gamma Proteobacteria to produce aroQtyrAc_Δ.
The molecular markers and genetic linkage maps developed in the present study represent one of the initial milestones in the fusion of genomics, genetics, and molecular breeding in cultivated tomato.
The query, spurred by the announcement last week that the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California had reached an important milestone on the road to fusion energy, elicited some fascinating responses.
Tritium breeding blanket testing program in ITER is an important milestone towards the development of the fusion reactors.
A role of the fusion gene ETV/RUNX1 TEL/AML1 in the TGF signaling constitutes a milestone entailing this immune regulatory pathway to leukemogenesis, by compromising the normal cell responses to its inhibitory function.
In 1994 a major milestone was achieved when the TFTR generated 10 megawatts of fusion power.
The fusion community might be easy to criticize for its many unmet milestones, but for decades the United States has never come close to even the moderate effort.
