Artificial sun: Nuclear fusion closer to reality with this new method
A novel X-ray imaging technique developed by researchers is expected to address multiple challenges related to fusion energy development.
However, understanding how well these nanofoams perform in such experiments is challenging, as existing techniques either destroy the delicate structures or lack the resolution needed to study them in detail, reported Nano Magazine. “This type of 3D volume technique at a free-electron laser is a first-of-its-kind measurement,” stated Adra Carr, a research scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the lead author of the work, which was published in Nano Letters on August 1. Arianna Gleason, a senior staff scientist at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, stated that this new technique leverages the coherence and the brilliance of the X-ray free-electron laser.
