Article Synopsis
  • * This experiment produced 2.05 MJ of laser energy, resulting in 3.1 MJ of total fusion yield, which exceeds the Lawson criterion for ignition, demonstrating a key milestone in fusion research.
  • * The report details the advancements in target design, laser technology, and experimental methods that contributed to this historic achievement, validating over five decades of research in laboratory fusion.

Article Synopsis
  • * In inertially confined fusion, ignition allows the fusion process to spread into surrounding fuel, potentially leading to higher energy output.
  • * Recent experiments at the National Ignition Facility achieved capsule gains of 5.8 and approached ignition, even though "scientific breakeven" has not yet been fully realized.

Background: This study evaluated the use of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in older patients undergoing pacemaker implantation.

Methods: In this prospective cohort, CGA was performed in 197 patients ≥75 years at pacemaker implantation and yearly thereafter. CGA embraced the following domains: cognition, mobility, nutrition, activities of daily living (ADLs), and falls (with or without loss of consciousness).

Reaction of Nd and Er nitrate salts with a 1,3,5-tris(dipicolylamine)-triazine () ligand yielded two unprecedented examples of [Ln(NO)] (Ln = Nd, Er) moieties completely encapsulated by the ligands. They are found in the two new complexes, [(H)][(Nd(NO))]·2CHCN (), and the related [(H)][(Er(NO))]·3CHCN·2HO (). The structures of the complexes are similar and they crystallize in the triclinic -1 space group with = 12.
