U.S. at night with lit areas visible
// S&T Highlights
For nearly half a century, the Laboratory has created unique one-page charts that diagram the nation’s energy use and consumption in an easy-to-understand format.
a HYDRA simulation of an inertial confinement fusion implosion
// S&T Highlights
Researchers gain new insights into why small eviations from perfect spherical symmetry can lead to significant distortions of the implosion and ultimately degrade inertial confinement (ICF) fusion performance.
