    Doctoral advisor. Willis Lamb. Theodore Harold Maiman (July 11, 1927 – May 5, 2007) was an American engineer and physicist who is widely credited with the invention of the laser. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Maiman's laser led to the subsequent development of many other types of lasers. [8][9] The laser was successfully fired on May 16, 1960.

  6. Energy drink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_drink

    An energy drink is a type of functional beverage containing stimulant compounds, usually caffeine, which is marketed as providing mental and physical stimulation (marketed as "energy", but distinct from food energy). They may or may not be carbonated and may also contain sugar, other sweeteners, or herbal extracts, among numerous other possible ...

  7. Inertial confinement fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_confinement_fusion

    Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is a fusion energy process that initiates nuclear fusion reactions by compressing and heating targets filled with fuel. The targets are small pellets, typically containing deuterium (2 H) and tritium (3 H). Energy is deposited in the target's outer layer, which explodes outward.

    The fusion system is in the large cylindrical containment building in the center. LIFE, short for Laser Inertial Fusion Energy, was a fusion energy effort run at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory between 2008 and 2013. LIFE aimed to develop the technologies necessary to convert the laser-driven inertial confinement fusion concept being ...
