US-based TAU Systems is poised to bring particle accelerators to a multitude of users by harnessing the latest laser technology. Until now high-energy particle accelerators have been the exclusive domain of countries and governmental organisations. Because of their enormous size and very high cost, access for engineers and biotech professionals is severely limited. TAU Systems will use the latest laser technology to make electrons surf on three-dimensional plasma waves and accelerate them to ultra-high energies.

An experiment at the US Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL’s) National Ignition Facility (NIF) has taken a significant step toward ignition, achieving a yield of more than 1.3 megajoules (MJ). NIF said on 8 August. This advancement puts researchers at the threshold of fusion ignition, an important goal of NIF, leading the way to a new experimental regime. The experiment was enabled by focusing laser light from NIF — the size of three football fields — onto a target to produce a hot-spot the diameter of a human hair, generating more than 10 quadrillion watts of fusion power for 100 trillionths of a second.
