The Science Behind Laser-Driven Nuclear Fusion

Laser-driven nuclear fusion involves the use of high-powered lasers to heat and compress atomic nuclei to the point where they fuse together. This process is complex and requires the simultaneous heating of multiple nuclei to achieve the necessary conditions for fusion.

The ATLAS Facility will use a combination of laser pulses to achieve this goal. The laser pulses will be designed to heat and compress the nuclei to the point where they fuse together, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process.
