The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's formula for cooking up a sun on the ground may sound like it's stolen from the plot of an "Austin Powers" movie. But it's no Hollywood fantasy: The ambitious experiment will be tried for real, and for the first time, late this summer.

Austin Powers? I don't remember anything about nuclear fusion from any of those movies. I know it was a part of Spider-Man 2. Anyways, pretty cool!
