Startups with laser beams: The companies trying to ignite fusion energy
A small group of startups have embarked on this quest, pursuing their own variations on this theme — different lasers, different techniques to set off the fusion reactions, different elements to fuse together. «There has been rapid growth,» said Andrew Holland, CEO of the Fusion Industry Association, a trade group lobbying for policies to speed the development of fusion. Private enterprise promises quick innovation, but it was a breakthrough achieved by a big, costly and ponderous government-run project that spurred this wave of attention to laser fusion. Last December, after years of trying, the National Ignition Facility, or NIF, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory reported that it had finally lived up to its middle name: ignition. For the first time anywhere, a laser-induced burst of fusion produced more energy than that supplied by the incoming lasers. «We're really excited by the NIF results,» said Kramer Akli, who manages the internal fusion energy sciences program at the U.S.

Delhi air quality back in 'severe' category two days after Diwali
Delhi witnessed a return to the 'severe' category of air pollution on Tuesday. The national capital was enveloped in a thick layer of smog, causing reduced visibility. The AQI readings were alarming, with RK Puram at 417, Punjabi Bagh at 410, ITO at 430, and Jahangirpuri at 428. Ghaziabad, neighboring Delhi, also reported 'very poor' air quality according to the Central Pollution Control Board. Despite a relatively better air quality on Diwali day, which was the best in eight years, Delhi's air quality deteriorated to the 'poor' category on Monday. This reversal was attributed to the late-night bursting of crackers, violating the ban imposed. As air quality worsens, a political blame game has ensued, with the AAP and BJP accusing each other. The smoky haze returned on Monday morning, negating the positive impact of rain. In response to the escalating pollution levels, authorities at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, a government facility in the city, have decided to establish a dedicated Out-Patient Department (OPD) to address illnesses related to pollution.
