"Really Cheap, Really Clean Energy from Boron" - Tom Blakeslee, August 9th, 2011
"This winter a small, privately financed, company in New Jersey called Lawrenceville Plasma Physics (LPP) will attempt Boron fusion for the very first time. They have been testing and tweaking their DPF device using deuterium as a fusion fuel. Already their SUV-sized machine has produced 3.7 million neutrons per Joule of input energy. Correcting for fuel, this is 60 times better than the $3 billion" National Ignition Facility which uses 192 lasers mounted on a stadium-sized dome."
Next Big Future
Brian Wang at Next Big Future has provided consistent coverage of Focus Fusion since 2008. Thanks Brian!
BNET
On Jan. 30, 2010, BNET (CBS Interactive Business Network) included Focus Fusion in its list of "Ten Serious Nuclear Fusion Projects Making Progress Around the World".
Press Release
LPP issued a Press Release on Oct. 15, 2009, announcing the completion of Focus-Fusion-1 and describing the initial shots.
The Economist
The Oct. 22, 2009 issue of The Economist covered our newly-completed DPF and explained our Focus Fusion ideas in its Science and Technology section.
Discover Magazine
The June 2008 issue of Discover magazine had a very favorable, if brief, article on Focus Fusion in their Ideas section.
Google TechTalks
In the fall of 2007, Eric Lerner was invited to present his ideas on Focus Fusion at Google TechTalks. On October 3, 2007, his presentation reviewed the history and status of Focus Fusion and briefly compared it to the two competing approaches: Field Reversed Configuration (funded by Paul Allen) and Inertial Electrostatic Confinement, championed by the late Dr. Robert Bussard, also a recent Google TechTalk speaker. This video was viewed over 10,000 times within two weeks, and was discussed at Slashdot.
New York Times
On Feb. 27, 2007, Focus Fusion gained public awareness with the publication of an article on alternative routes to fusion in the New York Times. While the article emphasized sonofusion—attempting to produce fusion reactions in bubbles in liquid— it also described other fusion alternatives, including four paragraphs on Focus Fusion.
The Space Show
Dr. David Livingston, host of The Space Show, interviewed Eric Lerner on March 12, July 28, and Aug. 3, 2006, along with updates in 2010 and '11. They discussed astronomy, cosmology, and how these subjects tie in with Focus Fusion.
Progressive Engineer
LPP lead scientist authored an illuminating editorial in 2002.
