In 1955, at Union Carbide's Eveready lab, the chemical engineer was asked to make a small battery that would last for more than a few minutes. He was quite successful: at a demonstration for company executives, one toy car, equipped with an older battery, quickly slowed to a halt while another, powered with his now standard alkaline battery, raced around and around the cafeteria.

Uranium used in fuel rods is lightly enriched, usually less than 5%. During the 2000 experiment, however, researchers produced uranium that was 77% enriched, or nearly weapons grade. Seoul characterized the laser experiment as independent research carried out by curious scientists who then neglected to report...
