It was an engineering problem compared to getting stuck in SF Bay Bridge traffic, if the bridge was far thinner than a strand of human hair. Here’s how #NIF and General Atomics came up with a novel, time-saving solution #physics #lasers lasers.llnl.gov/news/science-t…

A series of (tiny) tubes: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists create fill tubes that are 1/30th the size of a human hair to create capsules for #NIF shots more easily. llnl.gov/news/two-micro…

A #TBT from 1997: NIF construction workers made an exciting discovery – the bones of “Niffy,” a 16,000-year-old mammoth. Here’s a look back at that early holiday gift and how a Livermore 2nd grader came up with the name lasers.llnl.gov/news/nif-peopl…

NIF & Photon Science was well represented at the recent American Physical Society Plasma Physics conference. Here’s a brief rundown of the invited talks from LLNL's experts lasers.llnl.gov/news/meetings-…

To expand, diversify the pipeline of students pursuing high energy density science careers, UC Merced Florida A&M University, Morehouse College College and @lawrence_lab formed a consortium under a grant from #NNSA #science #physics lnkd.in/gsYCzY5

LLNL’s National Ignition Facility took a historic step forward in the decades-long quest for #fusion ignition on Aug. 8, achieving a yield of more than 1.3 megajoules. The milestone puts researchers at the threshold of #ignition & opens the door to new NIF experiments. llnl.gov/news/national-…

On Secretary Jennifer Granholm’s tour of the National Ignition Facility this morning, Lab scientists briefed the Secretary on the Lab’s commitment to inertial confinement fusion & how NIF is used to ensure the safety, security and resilience of the nuclear stockpile without underground testing.

On Dec. 5, 2022, a team at LLNL's National Ignition Facility conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to achieve fusion ignition. Also known as scientific energy breakeven, the experiment produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it.

To celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieving #FusionIgnition at NIF, we have expanded our “The Age of Ignition” series to include more stories explaining how we made scientific history #OnThisDay in 2022 lasers.llnl.gov/content/assets…

Just published in American Physical Society Physical Review Letters: peer-reviewed papers detailing Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s historic achievement of #FusionIgnition at NIF on 12/5/22. Companion papers in PRL and Physical Review E provide further details. lasers.llnl.gov/news/llnls-bre…

For Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicist Annie Kritcher, the bigger the challenge, the better. Here’s the story about the path that led her to become the lead designer on the LLNL experiment at NIF that achieved one of science’s biggest challenges—#FusionIgnition. lasers.llnl.gov/news/designing…

Our very own Tammy Ma is at #TED2024 to talk ignition at NIF and the potential for a #FusionEnergy future! TED Talks

Save the date for a special event. In December 2022, scientists at the National Ignition Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved fusion ignition for the first time in a laboratory setting — a stunning success more than 40 years in the making. To honor

Please join us as we gather around our special “Joule Log” to celebrate the spirit of the holidays and the dedication to scientific achievements that led to #FusionIgnition at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility. youtu.be/FO4yx_RZh8k?si… via YouTube
