The THRILL (Technology for High-Repetition-rate Intense Laser Laboratories) project received more than ten million euro of funding in the framework of the European Union’s HORIZON EUROPE program. The project aims at providing new designs and high-performance components for high-energy high-repetition-rate lasers, enabling the technical readiness level required to specify and build the needed devices. This work improves the performance, the energy...

Nuclear fusion is the process that occurs at the heart of stars. Several methods exist to try to reproduce it in the laboratory. What are the challenges of research in this field?
