Recently, our team had the incredible opportunity to tour the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. We're gearing up for our first STEM Pathways shoot here this September, and what we learned was mind-blowing! Did you know? During test shots, this facility becomes the hottest place in the solar system, with temperatures inside the target reaching 180 million degrees Fahrenheit - that's 7 times hotter than the sun! In September, we'll be interviewing the STEM superheroes who are advancing high-energy-density physics (HEDP), including physicists, engineers, and technicians. Together, they are pushing boundaries and paving the way for a potential new source of sustainable energy. Their work could revolutionize how we power our world! ⚡ Stay tuned for more updates on our STEM Pathways video series, set to launch in 2025. We can't wait to share these incredible stories of innovation and discovery with you! ------ #STEM #HEDP #SustainableEnergy #Innovation #Physics #STEMPathways #LLNL #AcceleratorMedia
