Focus Fusion update

Doggone it.  I almost forgot all about this project.  It is still ongoing, and yes, they seem to be making some progress.

It is a world wide collaboration now, so a breakthrough might happen in more places than one.

Here is a link to the milestones in their research.  I learned about this concept in the early days of my BNO blog.  ( about 2010 or so).

At the present time, Dr. Lerner's team is preparing to do experiments with a beryllium anode ( or is it cathode?).

They have progressed through some materials, with the results that apparently matched expectations.  Each new material is expected to be an upgrade from the last.  The last one was tungsten.  I am not up to speed on the research ( obviously ), so there's a bit of catching up to do.
