Futuristic racer Fast Fusion will receive an update later this week adding new tracks and a new rendering mode without ...

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) -- a laser test facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif. -- is the world's most powerful laser. Though it faces fiscal ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, Lawrence Livermore's National Ignition Facility (NIF) in California, USA, has generated a neutron yield of nearly 3×10 15, equivalent to 8kJ of neutron energy.In ...

The experiment more than doubled NIF's previous energy record and demonstrated the viability of using fusion to support the National Nuclear Security Administration's Stockpile Stewardship Program ...

China’s Fusion Facility Is 50% Larger than Its American Counterpart. The new center in Mianyang, as revealed through satellite images analyzed and published by Reuters, is designed to be “50% ...

After a “breakthrough” in nuclear fusion research was announced this week, The Verge had a conversation with physicist Tammy Ma about the work that led to the breakthrough and what comes next.

Figure 1: Indirectly driven, inertially confined fusion target for NIF. Figure 2: X-ray and neutron images of the hotspot at bang-time. By analysing the observed hotspot shape (Fig. 2) in terms of ...

The NIF uses what’s known as inertial confinement to produce fusion reactions. At the facility, fusion fuel is coated in diamond and then encased in a small gold cylinder called a hohlraum.

It may look like a stadium or factory, but this building could contain the answer to safe renewable energy of the future. Here at The National Ignition Facility in Livermore, California ...

When fully operational, the Pelican constellation replenishes and upgrades Planet’s existing high resolution SkySat fleet with better resolution, more frequent image revisit times, and reduced ...
