Lehigh University researchers use mayonnaise to study and address the stability challenges of nuclear fusion by examining the phases of Rayleigh-Taylor instability.

Their innovative approach aims to inform the design of more stable fusion capsules, contributing to the global effort to harness clean fusion energy.

Inertial confinement fusion is a process that initiates nuclear fusion reactions by compressing and heating capsules filled with fuel.

Banerjee and his team are part of a global effort to turn the promise of fusion energy into reality.

"We're trying to enhance the predictability of what would happen with those molten, high-temperature, high pressure plasma capsules with these analog experiments of using mayonnaise in a rotating wheel".
