The Department of Energy’s Office of Science recently announced $28.5 million for LaserNetUS to advance discovery science and inertial fusion energy.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is one of nine facilities operating high-intensity, ultrafast lasers that will receive additional funding.
LaserNetUS is North America’s high-intensity laser research network which provides open and free access to researchers from the US and abroad and enables students to conduct work for their dissertations. The LaserNetUS facilities are located at universities and national laboratories distributed geographically throughout the US and Canada. The network currently has more than 1,200 members.
