IntroductionThe Indonesian-ruled territory of West Papua is home to some of the richest biodiversity in the world. The New Guinea rainforest—which spans the Indonesian and the Papua New Guinean part of the island territory—is the largest in the entire Asia-Pacific region and is the third largest in the world after the Amazon and Congo.

Correction to: Leukemia (2016) 30, 399–408 https://doi.org/10.1038/leu.2015.240, published online 04 September 2015The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article after concerns were raised about the data. Specifically: In Figure 3a, the two Patient MMC cell images for LatB appear to overlap. In Figure 3d, the DNT and MCD flow cytometry plots appear to show unusual repeating patterns. In Supplementary Figure 2a, JJN3 images for ISO 10 μg/ml and SAR 1 μg/ml appear to overlap.

Focussing laser light onto the surface of a small target filled with deuterium and tritium implodes it and leads to the creation of a hot and dense plasma, in which thermonuclear fusion reactions occur. In order for the plasma to become self-sustaining, the heating of the plasma must be dominated by the energy provided by the fusion reactions—a condition known as a burning plasma. A metric for this is the generalized Lawson parameter, where values above around 0.8 imply a burning plasma. Here, we report on hydro-equivalent scaling of experimental results on the OMEGA laser system and show that these have achieved core conditions that reach a burning plasma when the central part of the plasma, the hotspot, is scaled in size by at least a factor of 3.9 ± 0.10, which would require a driver laser energy of at least 1.7 ± 0.13 MJ. In addition, we hydro-equivalently scale the results to the 2.15 MJ of laser energy available at the National Ignition Facility and find that these implosions reach 86% of the Lawson parameter required for ignition. Our results support direct-drive inertial confinement fusion as a credible approach for achieving thermonuclear ignition and net energy in laser fusion. Hydro-equivalent scaling of recent direct-drive inertial confinement fusion implosions shows that a burning plasma can be achieved with a higher laser energy.
