Santiago de Chile is the smartest city in Latin America, according to the Cities in Motion ranking prepared by the IESE Business School. In the global ranking it comes in at number 66. The Chilean capital has become a kind of laboratory where different technologies are tested. Through the Smart City Santiago project, within the Plan Nacional Chile Territorio Inteligente, these initiatives in the field of mobility, environmental control and citizen safety are brought together. Among other measures, what stand out are the commitment to electric buses and taxis, charging facilities, smart electricity meters or variable message signs on roads. In addition, sensors in cities are a fundamental tool for collecting data of all kinds: from noise, to temperature, to air quality or determining when it is necessary to water a particular park or garden. This information, for example, is crucial for initiatives such as Smartdrop, a system developed by three Chilean engineers that can reduce park watering by up to 50%. To avoid wasting this unique asset, sensors and information from nearby weather stations are used. Soil moisture and temperature are continuously monitored, allowing, for example, more intensive watering on hot days than on rainy ones.

For many decades the running joke in fusion research has been that `fusion’ is twenty years away and always will be. Yet, this year we find ourselves in a position where we can talk about the milestones of burning plasmas, fusion ignition, and target energy gain greater than unity in the past tense – a situation that is remarkable! In this talk, we tell the story of the applied physics challenges that needed to be overcome to achieve these milestones and the strategy our team followed. To help understand the story, several key physics principles of inertial fusion will be presented, and the speaker will dispel any confusion about what the terms burning, ignition, and gain mean in the context of inertial fusion research.
