LIVERMORE, California, March 8 (TNSjou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory issued the following news release:
A series of experiments conducted at the Omega Laser, part of the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics, provide new insights into magnetic reconnection, a process that could help explain stellar flares and other astrophysical phenomena. The research confirmed that unstable ion-acoustic waves (IAWs) could b . . .
