چکیده
In August 2021, at the National Ignition Facility of Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in USA, a 1.35 MJ fusion yield was obtained. It is demonstration validity Inertial Confinement Fusion approach to achieve energy-efficient thermonuclear laboratory. historical milestone that scientific community has achieved after decades efforts.

A compact neutron spectrometer for characterizing inertial confinement fusion implosions at OMEGA and the NIF.
A compact spectrometer for measurements of the primary deuterium-tritium neutron spectrum has been designed and implemented on the OMEGA laser facility [T. Boehly et al., Opt. Commun. 133, 495 (1997)]. This instrument uses the recoil spectrometry technique, where neutrons produced in an implosion elastically scatter protons in a plastic foil, which are subsequently detected by a proton spectrom...
متن کاملThe PHD2 oxygen sensor paves the way to metastasis
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer and remains the second leading cause of cancer death in women. Metastatic relapse is a main cause of this high mortality. Understanding the mechanisms that control metastasis is therefore pivotal for the design of improved and safe breast cancer treatment regimen. Hypoxia is a characteristic feature of most solid tumors, including breast cancer, and is ...
متن کاملGesture paves the way for language development.
In development, children often use gesture to communicate before they use words. The question is whether these gestures merely precede language development or are fundamentally tied to it. We examined 10 children making the transition from single words to two-word combinations and found that gesture had a tight relation to the children's lexical and syntactic development. First, a great many of...
متن کاملAuxin Paves the Way for Planar Morphogenesis
The coordinated growth of epidermal cells in plant leaves creates the characteristic jigsaw puzzle appearance of the pavement cells. Now, Xu et al. (2010) report that AUXIN-BINDING PROTEIN 1 mediates auxin activation of two GTPase pathways that antagonistically control planar morphogenesis of leaf epidermal cells to create this distinctive pattern.
