ScholarPeer’s latest research news and reporting from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is a U.S. national laboratory conducting research in national security, high-energy-density physics, nuclear science, computing, materials, and energy. Its scientists develop advanced simulations, experimental platforms, diagnostics, and technologies that deepen understanding of extreme physical systems while supporting fusion research, climate and energy studies, and national security missions.
Lawrence Livermore simulations show fusion capsules absorbing radiation asymmetry without losing yield, until a sharp threshold flips a working implosion into a failed one, shaping how future fusion power plants might be tuned.
