В Ливерморе (штат Калифорния, США) прошла официальная церемония открытия самой мощной в мире лазерной установки. При помощи сфокусированных лучей физики попытаются воссоздать условия в центре звезд и зажечь термоядерную реакцию. Читать далее »
Цитата: LIVERMORE, Calif. —With thousands in attendance, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was officially dedicated today, setting into motion the next chapter of one of the country’s greatest scientific assets. NIF, the world’s highest-energy laser system, consists of 192 laser beams that will focus nearly two million joules of energy and create temperatures and pressures that exist in the cores of stars and giant planets. By harnessing the massive power generated by its lasers, NIF will be able to create conditions and conduct a wide range of experiments never before possible on earth. Sen. Dianne Feinstein discusses the future energy possibilities of the National Ignition Facility during today’s dedication as NIF Director Ed Moses and LLNL Director George Miller look on. Click for high-resolution image. Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration, construction of NIF began in 1997 with three scientific missions in mind. Its first mission is to serve as a key component of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Stockpile Stewardship Program to ensure the safety and reliability of the nation’s nuclear deterrent without the need for nuclear testing.
Остается порадоваться за Штаты, что NIF, наконец, запущена... Ждем РЕЗУЛЬТАТОВ :) Изменено модератором 04 июня 2009, 00:21
