Report say, basically if you could steal all the rich's money you could end poverty Actually, it doesn't. World’s 100 richest earned enough in 2012 to end global poverty 4 times over That seems straight-forward to me. I think you're objecting to Jccarlton's interpretation that the article's author ...

Regarding NIF, in a working reactor something else would be used for the hohlraums, probably lead. From earlier this year. Slutz and Vesy start with a fairly standard pellet: a cylindrical piece of cryogenically cooled deuterium/tritium, surrounded by either aluminum or beryllium (this is the condu...
