    • Evidence for suprathermal ion distribution in burning plasmas 

      Hartouni, E.P.; Moore, A.S.; Crilly, A.J.; Appelbe, B.D.; Amendt, P.A.; e.a. (Nature, 2021-06)
      At the National Ignition Facility, inertial confinement fusion experiments aim to burn and ignite a hydrogen plasma to generate a net source of energy through the fusion of deuterium and tritium ions. The energy deposited ...
    • Burning plasma achieved in inertial fusion 

      Zylstra, A.B.; Hurricane, O.A.; Callahan, D.A.; Kritcher, A.L.; Ralph, J.; e.a. (Nature, 2021-05)
      The achievement of obtaining a burning plasma is a critical step toward self-sustaining fusion energy. A burning plasma is a fusion plasma where the alpha-particles created by the deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion reactions ...
    • Intermediate energy proton irradiation: rapid, high-fidelity materials testing for fusion and fission energy systems 

      Jepeal, Steven J.; Snead, Lance; Hartwig, Zachary S. (Elsevier, 2020-12)
      Fusion and advanced fission power plants require advanced nuclear materials to function under new, extreme environments. Understanding the evolution of mechanical and functional properties during radiation damage is essential ...
