Description:
Article One of the challenges in fast-ignition fusion is to laser-compress an asymmetric cone-in-shell target to a density at which it can be ignited by a second laser. Theobald et al . report the achievement of areal densities in excess of 300 mg cm −2 , to a point at which ignition might soon be possible. Nature Communications doi: 10.1038/ncomms6785 Authors: W.
