The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for a “method of generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical [laser] pulses.” Today these ultra-high-power lasers (UHPLs) have demonstrated many revolutionary technologies that will help to define the 21st century. The most significant of these is clean energy from fusion, but there are many more. The enormous promise of…
