TL;DR: In this paper , the authors achieved a burning-plasma state in the laboratory using a strategy to increase the spatial scale of the capsule through two different implosion concepts and showed that fusion self-heating in excess of the mechanical work injected into the implosions, satisfying several burningplasma metrics.

Ultraviolet surprise: Efficient soft x-ray high-harmonic generation in multiply ionized plasmas
Dimitar Popmintchev,Carlos Hernandez-Garcia,Carlos Hernandez-Garcia,Franklin Dollar,Christopher A. Mancuso,Jose A. Pérez-Hernández,Ming-Chang Chen,Amelia Hankla,Xiaohui Gao,Bonggu Shim,Alexander L.

Kapteyn,Tenio Popmintchev +22 more
TL;DR: Surprisingly, the high ultraviolet refractive indices of both neutral atoms and ions enabled effective phase matching, even in a multiply ionized plasma, which could presage a more generally efficient means of creating x-ray pulses for fundamental dynamics studies as well as technological applications.

TL;DR: Researchers have measured the equation of state of hydrocarbon in a high-density regime, which is necessary for accurate modelling of the oscillations of white dwarf stars and predicts an increase in compressibility due to ionization of the inner-core orbitals of carbon.
