Figure 1. Left: Photo of the TDYNO target deployed at the National Ignition Facility through the Discovery Science program. The experimental target consists of two foils and a pair of grids, held together by cylindrical shields. Each target is about the size of a penny.

The hot plasma emits soft X-rays, which enables the researchers to characterize the properties of the turbulent flow and measure the fluctuations of electron temperature that revealed the strong suppression of heat transport.
