TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive update of the current status of ultra-high-power lasers and demonstrate how the technology has developed, and what technologies are to be deployed to get to these new regimes, and some critical issues facing their development.

TL;DR: In this article, the extreme magnetic fields generated by the interaction of a high-intensity laser with a plasma enables the study of magnetic reconnection processes similar to those that occur in solar flares.

TL;DR: Numerical simulations reveal that the electron beam is formed due to the confinement of the surface quasistatic electromagnetic fields, of interest for potential applications of fast electron beams and deep understanding of the cone-target physics in the fast ignition related experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was suggested that the extreme states of matter generated by high-intensity lasers could allow conditions similar to those in the vicinity of black holes to be studied in the lab, and the observation of striking similarities between the X-ray spectra emitted by a laser-driven laboratory plasma and those measured from two high-mass binary star systems suggests such potential has been realized.

TL;DR: In this article, anomalous observations using the fast ignition for laser driven fusion energy are interpreted and experimental and theoretical results are reported which are in contrast to the very numerous effects usually observed at petawatt-picosecond laser interaction with plasmas.
