US' laser facility to boost fusion research to achieve limitless energy
Planned to be known as the Advanced Technology Lasers for Applications and Science (ATLAS) Facility, the new building is aimed to be a unique cluster of high-intensity, high-repetition rate lasers that can be configured to fire simultaneously at a single fusion target.
A powerful new laser research facility located on Colorado State University’s Foothills Campus is expected to strengthen the country’s fusion efforts to achieve limitless energy. Beyond fusion and basic science research, the ATLAS Facility will also support interdisciplinary work into topics like medicine, where lasers could be used to deposit energy in a very localized region for tumor treatment, according to the release. Other potential research at the facility includes microchip lithography and design and detailed X-ray imaging of rapidly moving objects, such as airplane engine turbines in full motion.
