What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Sandia National Laboratories operates the Z machine, the world’s largest pulsed-power facility, which is used to re-create cosmic conditions for research into commercial fusion power near Kirtland Air Force Base. The facility creates bursts of power exceeding those of all global power plants combined for nanoseconds, while also generating radioactive environments similar to nuclear weapons explosions. Officials at Sandia also demonstrated cutting-edge technology, such as exoskeletons, robots, and drones, which are intended for commercial markets.
