Physicists in the US have demonstrated nuclear fusion in a “Z pinch” for the first time. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories observed neutrons produced by the fusion of deuterium nuclei at the lab’s Z facility – the world’s most powerful X-ray source. The results were presented at a meeting of the American Physical Society in Philadelphia yesterday.
