American lab is developing a BAT laser that could enable 'beyond EUV' lithography
#LLNL evaluating Big Aperture Thulium (BAT) laser technology to enhance #EUV efficiency by 10x compared to current industry-standard CO2 lasers. This advancement could pave way for a new generation of 'beyond EUV' #lithography systems that produce chips quicker and with less power. Unlike CO2 lasers that operate at a wavelength of about 10 microns, this system operates at around 2 microns.

“Today, #LLNL is honored to host distinguished guests, industry partners and visitors to celebrate the dedication and deployment of #ElCapitan, the world's most powerful #supercomputer and the first #exascale system dedicated to national security” www.llnl.gov/news/highlig... #HPC #AI

Huge congrats to #LLNL on securing the number 1 spot on the Top 500!

El Cap is delivering a staggering 1.7 exaFLOPS of double precision matrix in a 29.5 MW power envelope!

What is the future of #HPC if we can't get the resources we need? Is the #AI boom going to impact on-premises procurements? The #SC24 BOF I'm most excited for this year is spanning #LLNL
#Google #AWS #Microsoft #BSC #IBM & #UTKnoxville! That is a lot of expertise!

Importantly, since it's a BoF that means you 🫵 can participate in the discussion! How many mic drop moments will we have this year? 🫢

The KESTREL mission balloon seen ascending majestically above Ramona County Airport (CA) on 11/13/86.

KESTREL was a program to develop technology capable of addressing issues associated with precise tracking of ballistic missiles. It was carried out by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory with support from the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory.

Energia pulita senza fine! L’esperimento riuscito di fusione nucleare del Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Recentemente, il Dipartimento dell’Energia degli #statiuniti ha annunciato che i #ricercatori del Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (#LLNL) ha effettuato una scoperta sensazionale. Hanno trovato un modo in cui viene generata più #energia da una reazione #termonucleare inerziale di quanta ne sia stata spesa per la sua creazione.

NIF, the facility that just produced the first positive-gain fusion reaction, was completed in 2009 at a cost of about $4.2B. It costs about $300M/year to run. So total cost to date is about $8.1B. The experiment that produced the fusion reaction had a net gain of about 1.1MJ energy.

That works out to about $19.44B per kilowatthour.

They plan to reduce the cost per kWh before they go into production.

On Dec. 5, 2022, a team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to achieve fusion ignition.

* 2.05 MJ of #laser #energy in
* 1.25 MJ of #fusion energy produced

but
300 MJ were needed to produce the laser beam in the first place

This seems to be the summary of the #LLNL #LawrenceLivermore #breakthrough -

"“You’ll need gains of 30 to 100 in order to get more energy for an energy power plant,” Dr. Herrmann, program director for weapons physics and design at the Livermore, said."

#Fusion power is always 40 years away from any practical utility. The announcement the week from #LLNL doesn't change that. It's still 40 years away. If you're not convinced, just read the details of the lab setup they used, and ask yourself how to turn that into a practical power source. It will still be 40 years away, long after the point when we need to cross the net zero threshold.

Sobre la ignición de la fusión en NIF (National Ignition Facility) anunciada a bombo y platillo

► https://francis.naukas.com/2022/12/13/sobre-la-ignicion-de-la-fusion-en-nif-anunciada-a-bombo-y-platillo/

"Hoy se ha anunciado a bombo y platillo un gran hito en energía de fusión, la primera ignición con exceso de energía de NIF (National Ignition Facility) en el LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), California (EEUU). El pasado 5 de diciembre sus 192 láseres inyectaron una energía de 2.05 megajulios en el hohlraum que contiene la cápsula de combustible, produciendo 3.15 megajulios y logrando Q = 1.54 durante unos pocos nanosegundos.
