Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has existed as a field of study since the 1970s, but the field
was born out of the Cold War. In the decades since the 1960s, pioneering research …

By imploding fuel of hydrogen isotopes, inertial confinement fusion (ICF) aims to create
conditions that mimic those in the Sun's core. This is fluid dynamics in an extreme regime …

For more than half a century, researchers around the world have been engaged in attempts
to achieve fusion ignition as a proof of principle of various fusion concepts. Following the …

A new critical survey of all half-life, decay-energy, and branching-ratio measurements
related to 23 superallowed 0+→ 0+ β decays is presented. Included are 222 individual …

Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known
pathways towards turbulent mixing layers, in many cases characterized by significant mass …

The quest for controlled fusion energy has been ongoing for over a half century. The
demonstration of ignition and energy gain from thermonuclear fuels in the laboratory has …

Ignition is needed to make fusion energy a viable alternative energy source, but has yet to
be achieved. A key step on the way to ignition is to have the energy generated through …

The National Ignition Campaign (NIC) was a multi-institution effort established under the
National Nuclear Security Administration of DOE in 2005, prior to the completion of the …

A new critical survey is presented of all half-life, decay-energy, and branching-ratio
measurements related to 20 superallowed 0+→ 0+ β decays. Included are 222 individual …

In diverse areas of science and technology, including inertial confinement fusion (ICF),
astrophysics, geophysics, and engineering processes, turbulent mixing induced by …
