Physicists at the Imperial Institute of English learned using a laser to heat the substance to a temperature above the core temperature of the Sun, in just 20 femtoseconds (quadrillionth of a second). The speed of the new method is 100 times higher than that of the most advanced laser systems, the creators of. About the invention described in the journal Nature Communications. New way important to begin to study the technology of nuclear fusion. For reactors you need to recreate the conditions and processes occurring in the interior of the Sun, and quickly heating the products to ultra-high temperatures. Just "beat" the beam most powerful laser little considerably in addition to improve the heating process of the material. Traditionally, the laser beam heats the electrons in the substance, and later the heated ions constituting the core mass. This process is relatively long. Scientists wanted to figure out how to specifically heat the ions. They learned that ingestion of a laser beam with a high flux density of radiation on specific materials there is electrostatic shock wave. Of course this discovery is not new, however this kind of waves previously only "pushes" the ions in front of him, without any heating effect. Scientists led by Arthur Turell (Arthur Turrell) during the prediction on the supercomputer has directed attention to the fact that materials with high density (plastic and cesium hydride) have a special arrangement of ions that are accelerated at different rates. This creates the necessary for heating of the friction. Besides all this, in consequence of the density of the material the shock wave compresses the ions 10 times, which also increases the effect of friction. "Jonah 2 types of these drugs act as and a box of matches to ignite the flame, both components are necessary. The match itself will not light: you need the friction generated upon impact of her boxes," explains co - author mark Sherlock (Mark Sherlock). While new technology remains at the level of theoretical models. Data research workers show that it can help to heat small quantities of solid drug to 11.6 million degrees Celsius within a few 10 s of femtoseconds. At the moment, the researchers hope to prove the model experimentally. "If the atoms in accelerators (like the Large hadron Collider) temperature even higher, but there we are talking about single pairs of elementary particles. Our technique, on the contrary, can be realized in laser installations around the world, and to heat the solids," says Turrell.
