FLARE – A Bold Strategy To Unlock Fusion First Light Fusion publishes first plausible path to high gain, unlocking cheap fusion energy – 19 September, 2025 • First Light Fusion has presented the first reactor-compatible path to “high gain” fusion, which would drastically reduce the cost of this limitless clean energy source. • Gain (energy out divided by energy in – the efficiency […] Read more »
A Bayesian approach to time-domain Photonic Doppler Velocimetry analysis Accurately determining the speed of a shock front, moving at several kilometres per second, is an important measurement in high-energy-density HED physics experiments. In this paper, we have developed a novel approach to analysing shock-speed data by leveraging the latest techniques in probabilistic machine learning (ML). Laser light is reflected off the moving shock and […] Read more »
