Summary: |
"High energy density (HED) science has critical applications for society from fusion energy to sustaining the U.S. nuclear deterrent, while also contributing to broader scientific questions such as understanding planets and their origins. The next decade of HED science will be instrumental to growing our understanding and in the development of new technologies and processes. This report identifies key challenges and science questions for the field for the coming decade and proposes ways to address them"-- |
