TL;DR: The Z accelerator at Sandia National Laboratories delivers ∼20MA load currents to create high magnetic fields (>1000T) and high pressures (megabar to gigabar) in a z-pinch configuration, the magnetic pressure supersonically implodes a plasma created from a cylindrical wire array, which at stagnation typically generates a plasma with energy densities of about 10MJ∕cm3 and temperatures >1keV at 0.1% of solid density as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show direct observation of an abrupt insulator-to-metal transition in dense liquid deuterium, which may constrain the region of hydrogen-helium immiscibility and the boundary layer pressure in standard models of the internal structure of gas-giant planets.

TL;DR: In this article, a load-limited MILO with an RF choke is used for the upstream boundary to obtain gigawatt-level output power in both experiments and numerical simulations, results of which are also presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present shock compression data for water with unprecedented accuracy that show that water equations of state commonly used in planetary modeling significantly overestimate the compressibility at conditions relevant to planetary interiors.

TL;DR: The magnetized liners inertial fusion (MagLIF) concept was introduced by Slutz and Vesey as mentioned in this paper, which is in the class of magneto-inertial fusion targets.
