“Behold the mayo”

Headline writer should be zapped with an alpha particle for that one.

Didn’t read anything that would prevent me eating BLTs.

"In inertial confinement experiments, the gas (hydrogen isotopes, like in magnetic fusion) is frozen inside pea-sized metal pellets. The pellets are placed in a chamber and then hit with high-powered lasers that compress the gas and heat it up to a few million Kelvin—about 400 million degrees Fahrenheit—creating the conditions for fusion."

What I got out of the article is that we will be able to use mayo to create either fusion weapons or civil fusion electrical power. Will the Brady Foundation now try to ban mayo as a weapon of mass destruction? Just askin'.

I believe they were worried about it happening during nuclear detonations.

I want to see the mayo explode at 500 fps! ;-)

But mayonnaise is an emulsified combination of egg yolks and oil. Not what I would first call to mind when discussing elastic-plastic material, although an emulsified sauce is relatively unstable. This is why I don’t get government grants.

'instability threshold' of elastic-plastic material

I would really like to see the experimental apparatus.

Hellman's Mayonnaise is thixotropic, as is latex paint, which exhibits spatter mist caused by the breaking of elastically fluid strings formed by separation of the roll from the coated surface. The same phenomenon is seen in the behavior of the adhesive of Scotch^R tape when it is stripped from a rigid substrate.

Odd, but true.

Laser fusion was attempted a number of years ago by employing hydrogen-filled tiny millimeter-sized glass spheres dropped one by one into the center of, and bombarded at, the juncture of the beams of peripheral lasers, the beams impinging normal to the sphere's circumference.

I wonder why they went to a metallic containment instead? (Perhaps because the glass is elastic only up to the point of fracture, whereas a metal suffers significant integrity in plastic elongation after the elastic limit is reached?)
