Experiments on the Titan laser at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were carried out in order to study the properties of fast electrons produced by high-intensity, short pulse laser interacting with matter under conditions relevant to fast ignition.

Examines models of systems for CO2 capture. A brief survey with a few illustrative examples

Presents the first results from an experimental campaign to measure the atomic ablator-gas mix in the deceleration phase of gas-filled capsule implosions on the National Ignition Facility.

Research team analyzes records of bulk and amino-acid-specific 15N/14N isotopic ratios (δ15N) preserved in the skeletons of long-lived deep-sea proteinaceous corals collected from the Hawaiian archipelago; these isotopic records serve as a proxy for the source of nitrogen-supported export production through time.

Research shows that the interaction of relativistic-intensity, picosecond laser pulses with solid targets is affected by the reflected light through the strong currents and 104  T magnetic fields it produces.

This paper reports observations of shock compressed, unreacted hydrogen peroxide at pressures up to the von Neumann pressure for a steady detonation wave, using ultrafast laser-driven shock wave methods.

A new generation of hollow waveguide (HWG) gas cells of unprecedented compact dimensions facilitating low sample volumes suitable for broad- and narrow-band mid-infrared (MIR; 2.5–20 μm) sensing applications is reported: the substrate-integrated hollow waveguide (iHWG).

We report a study of materials recovered from a uranium-containing plasma generated by an electric arc.

We report the application of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy as a non-contact, non-destructive method to rapidly analyze uranium ore concentrate materials for species and/or process information.

Calculations of the electronic structure of clusters of plutonium have been performed, within the framework of the relativistic discrete‐variational method.
