Researchers come up with a solid plan

摘要

Researchers at Oxford University have created and analysed extremely hot, dense plasma from a solid substrate of aluminium foil.According to the researchers, these plasmas differ markedly from well-characterised dilute 'gaseous' plasmas and could simulate conditions within stars with a view to emulating fusion power.The team carried out the experiments at the Linac Coherent light Source (LCLS) within the US Department of Energy (DoE), which creates X-rays.
