Flash Center moves to Rochester, advances cutting-edge physics research
The Flash Center—devoted to computer simulations to advance understanding of astrophysics, plasma science, high-energy-density physics, and fusion energy—has moved from the University of Chicago to Rochester.
Tracing the evolution of galaxy clusters
Petros Tzeferacos, an associate professor of physics and astronomy and a senior scientist at LLE, and colleagues from Chicago and Oxford have replicated in a laboratory setting conditions that exist within galaxy clusters.
Laser-driven experiments provide insights into the formation of the universe
Researchers at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics have captured for the first time in a laboratory setting the process thought to be responsible for generating and sustaining astrophysical magnetic fields.
Two LLE scientists awarded DOE funding for fusion research
Two awards from the Department of Energy will help Rochester scientists work to develop timely, commercially viable fusion energy.
