A Helical Polymer with a Cooperative Response to Chiral Information

TL;DR: The chiral nature of the polymer can be used to test theoretical ideas concerned with cholesteric liquid crystals, one of which solves the problem of assigning the helical sense.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of indirect-drive ignition design options for the National Ignition Facility

TL;DR: Several inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsule designs have been proposed as possible candidates for achieving ignition by indirect drive on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fabrication of Polymer Shells Using a Depolymerizable Mandrel

TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique for producing hollow shell laser fusion fuel capsules has been developed that starts with a depolymerizable mandrel, which diffuses through the permeable and thermally more stable plasma polymer coating, leaving a hollow shell.
