Nuclear Reactions in the Lab Mimic Supernovas

Space.com : Burning more brilliantly than a billion suns, the energy-packed star deaths known as supernovas have lately enabled scientists to discover fundamental properties of the universe.Now physicists hope to uncover new cosmic secrets by recreating some supernova features in the lab.The REsonator SOLenoid with Upscale Transmission (RESOLUT) joins a small number of facilities around the world able to recreate some of the emissions and reactions of nature’s biggest fireworks display.
