Scientists create effective 'spark plug' for direct-drive inertial confinement fusion experiments
Rochester NY (SPX) Feb 06, 2024 - Scientists from the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) led experiments to demonstrate an effective "spark plug" for direct-drive methods of inertial confinement fusion (ICF). In two studies published in Nature Physics, the authors discuss their results and outline how they can be applied at bigger scales with the hopes of eventually producing fusion at a future facility.
LLE is the largest university-based U.S. Department of Energy program and hosts the OMEGA laser system... Читать дальше...
