UCLA scientists led by Dr. Seth J. Putterman are reporting today that they have produced nuclear fusion in a footlong cylinder just five inches in diameter.加州大学洛杉矶分校的科学家博士领导塞思j. putterman所举报的今天，他们生产的核聚变在一个footlong缸刚才5英寸的直径。 Their findings are being reported in the journal Nature.他们的研究结果被举报在Nature杂志上。

However it will not even heat your palm, at least not yet.但是它不会热，甚至在您的Palm ，至少现在还没有。

The minifusion device accelerates hydrogen atoms and slams them together to produce helium.该minifusion装置，加速氢原子和批评，共同生产氦。

The central component of the device is a crystal of lithium tantalate, which belongs to a class of materials known as pyroelectrics.中央的组成部分，该装置是一种晶体钽酸锂，属于一类的材料称为pyroelectrics 。

“What Putterman’s made is an amazing little accelerator,” Dr. Happer said. “什么putterman的取得是一个了不起的小加速器， ”博士happer说。 “It’sa version of that that doesn’t need any high voltage.” “这是版本的，这不需要任何高压” 。

Dr. Putterman says he envisions a device consisting just of an egg-size container with a crystal, deuterium gas and the target inside. putterman博士说，他设想的装置构成的只是一个鸡蛋大小的容器与晶体，氘气和目标内。 Plunging the container into ice water or warming it with body heat would be enough to set off the reactions.投身货柜到冰水或变暖，它与体温将足以抵销的反应。 “We can diddle temperature a mere 30 degrees and generate fields that make fusion,” he said. “我们可以diddle温度只有30度，并产生领域，使融合， ”他说。
