All engine running.

Absolutely genius.

Get this.

Welcome.

This is the show where we bring science.

What that essentially means is discovery is

advances, research, technology, unbelievable.

Without further ado, this is the naked scientist.

Hello and welcome to the naked scientist,

the show where we bring you the latest breakthroughs in science, technology and medicine.

With me, James Titco.

And with me, Chris Smith, coming up, a landmark achievement.

Nuclear fusion experiments produce a net energy output.

So what does that really mean in practical terms? Also glasses

that soak up infrared to auto de-mist sounds like a saving solution in this

weather and how magnets are helping to solve a pollution problem on the London underground.

The Naked Scientists Podcast is powered by UKfast.co.uk. described as a landmark achievement known as ignition or energy gain.

Earlier this week researchers at the US National Ignition Facility in California

said fusion experiments there had released more energy than was pumped in by the high-powered laser they were using

to kick-start their experiments. So why, if it is, is this an exciting outcome?

With us to explain a nuclear physicist Brian Appleby, he's at Imperial College and

Richard Dinan who's the author of the book The Fusion Age and he's also the CEO
