Understanding hot spot conditions reached in implosion experiments

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers described a validation exercise for simple models. These models used to understand hot spot conditions reached in an implosion. These will find good agreement when compared to a set of simulations. Progress toward ignition needs accurately diagnosing current conditions. Accessing...

Chinese tokamak facility achieves 120-million-degree C for 1,056 seconds

Researchers have announced that they were able to hold 120-million-degree Celsius plasma for 1,056 seconds. This was a new record for holding superheated plasma. The development of fusion as a power source that could replace coal-fired power plants. The took inspiration from the Sun. As Sun produces light...
