A scanning electron microscope image of aligned deuterated polyethylene nanowires (a). Additional panels (b,c,d) show the results of the 3D simulations of the nanowires rapidly exploding following irradiation by the ultra-intense laser pulse. These 3D particle-in-cell simulations depict deuteron energy distribution during the fusion reaction. Photo: CSU. |
