Smashing a fuel pellet with lasers falls under the category of inertial confinement fusion. The other way, known as magnetic confinement fusion, uses powerful magnets to trap a burning cloud of ...

The boys over at North Street Labs built a handheld burning laser and made it look super simple. Well it’s not. We don’t think it’s hard either, but the only reason it looks so easy is ...

"Roughly speaking, we’ll be able to burn out ‘the eyes ... jet will also get "a powerful multi-spectral optical system operating in various ranges - the laser, infrared, ultraviolet and ...

The laser is then used to focus on the incoming threat and hit it, burning through the projectile ... some of these threats" and therefore "powerful new solutions are required." ...

Any advance in laser tech has huge potential across a whole range of fields – from space comms to fusion power – and we just got a big one: ultra-short laser pulses of up to 100 megawatts ...

The overall energy generated by those lasers is not especially impressive, but because it is highly compressed in time and space it creates mind-boggling power. These high-power laser pulses ...

Burning plasma occurs when fusion reactions ... To this end, NIF uses a powerful laser to heat and compress hydrogen fuel inside a capsule. The 192 beams from this laser - the highest-energy ...

Construction activity will start this month on a powerful new laser research facility located on Colorado State University’s Foothills Campus. A powerful new laser research facility located on ...
