Inertial Fusion Power Plant
Inertial Fusion Energy is a proposed approach to building a nuclear fusion power plant based on performing inertial confinement fusion at industrial scale. This approach to fusion power is still in a research phase. ICF first developed shortly after the development of the laser in 1960, but was a classified US research program during its earliest years. In 1972, John Nuckolls wrote a paper predicting that compressing a target could create conditions where fusion reactions are chained together, a process known as fusion ignition or a burning plasma. On August 8, 2021, the NIF at Livermore National Laboratory became the first ICF facility in the world to demonstrate this (see plot). This breakthrough drove the US Department of Energy to create an Inertial Fusion Energy program in 2022 with a budget of 3 million dollars in its first year. Design of a IFE power plant This kind of fusion reactor would consist of two parts: * Targets which can be small capsules (<7 millimeter ...

Electra Laser Generates 90K Shots
Electra (; grc, Ήλέκτρα) is one of the most popular Greek mythology, mythological characters in tragedy, tragedies.Evans (1970), p. 79 She is the main character in two Greek tragedies, ''Electra (Sophocles), Electra'' by Sophocles and ''Electra (Euripides), Electra'' by Euripides. She is also the central figure in plays by Aeschylus, Vittorio Alfieri, Alfieri, Voltaire, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Hofmannsthal, and Eugene O'Neill. She is a vengeful soul in ''Oresteia#The Libation Bearers, The Libation Bearers'', the second play of Aeschylus' ''Oresteia'' trilogy. She plans out an attack with her brother to kill their mother, Clytemnestra. In psychology, the Electra complex is named after her. Family Electra's parents were King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra. Her sisters were Iphigeneia and Chrysothemis, and her brother was Orestes (mythology), Orestes. In the ''Iliad'', Homer is understood to be referring to Electra in mentioning "Laodice" as a daughter of Agamemnon. Murde ...
