"This signature photo of a firing of Sandia's Z accelerator shows, in the
brilliant arcing of electricity, only the trace amounts of energy that
escape. The reaction actually releases, in X-rays, roughly 80 times the
entire world's output of electricity for a few trillionths of a second."

"In an inconspicuous, flat-roofed building on the high desert of New Mexico,
a machine that creates temperatures rivaling those of the sun is helping
physicists examine up-close what happens to iron in the grip of black holes
and neutron stars."
