LIVERMORE, California, May 1 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory issued the following news release:
In inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), a spherical shell of deuterium-tritium fuel is imploded in an attempt to reach the conditions needed for fusion, self-heating and eventual ignition. Since theory and simulations indicate that ignition efficacy in one-dimension (1D) improves with increasing im . . .
