Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has existed as a field of study since the 1970s, but the field
was born out of the Cold War. In the decades since the 1960s, pioneering research …

By imploding fuel of hydrogen isotopes, inertial confinement fusion (ICF) aims to create
conditions that mimic those in the Sun's core. This is fluid dynamics in an extreme regime …

White dwarfs are a class of stars with unique physical properties. They present many
challenging problems whose solution requires advanced theories of dense matter, state-of …

Hydrodynamic instabilities such as Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM)
instabilities usually appear in conjunction with the Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability and are …

Matter at extreme temperatures and pressures—commonly known as warm dense matter
(WDM)—is ubiquitous throughout our Universe and occurs in astrophysical objects such as …

We present an overview of the magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) concept Magnetized Liner
Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) pursued at Sandia National Laboratories and review some of the …

Stop** power is the rate at which a material absorbs the kinetic energy of a charged
particle passing through it—one of many properties needed over a wide range of …

A spectral neighbor analysis (SNAP) machine learning interatomic potential (MLIP) has
been developed for simulations of carbon at extreme pressures (up to 5 TPa) and …

Billion atom molecular dynamics (MD) using quantum-accurate machine-learning Spectral
Neighbor Analysis Potential (SNAP) observed long-sought high pressure BC8 phase of …

Thanks to a rapid progress of high-power lasers since the birth of laser by TH Maiman in
1960, intense lasers have been developed mainly for studying the scientific feasibility of …
