The National Ignition Facility, home of the first net-positive fusion reaction, is back with an even more powerful energy ...

The National Ignition Facility (NIF), based at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has steadily increased the amount of energy produced in its ...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility increased the yield of the experiment in recent attempts.

End of 2022, researchers at the NIF succeeded in generating more energy with a fusion reaction than they put into it. Now there are new records.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is pursuing funding to increase the laser fusion power at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) from 2.2 ...

Shortly after 1 a.m. on the morning of Dec. 5, 2022, Dave Schlossberg, an experimental physicist at National Ignition Facility (NIF), was woken by a phone call. A fusion experiment using NIF’s ...

The researchers tested simplified, subscale hohlraums — gold cavities that house the NIF target — which they iteratively made ...

In February, the US’s National Ignition Facility fired off its seventh laser shot, generating a record-breaking amount of energy for a laser-ignited fusion reaction. Ca ...

by directing the laser of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) onto ultra-light metal foams. Reported in Physical Review E, the findings could now point to new ways of imaging and studying extremely ...
