| Description | Journal: Physics World The applications of wire-array "Z-pinches"are experiencing a renaissance. In recent years, researchers at Sandia in the US, Imperial College in the UK, and the Troitsk Institute in Russia, among others, have managed to perfect the art of using ultra-short current pulses to produce an intense source of X-rays. Such a source can be used to drive thermonuclear fusion, to simulate the plasmas that are found near the surface of neutron stars, or to produce jets similar to those in astrophysical phenomena (see Physics World May 2000 pp39–43). |
