Inertial confinement fusionArs Technica

Researchers at LeHigh University conduct experiments with mayonnaise placed in a rotating figure- eight contraption.
Mayonnaise is a non-Newtonian fluid because it behaves like a solid, but when subjected to a pressure gradient, it starts to flow.
The researchers say their findings shed light on the structural integrity of fusion capsules in inertial confinement.
That said, the mayonnaise experiments are an analog, orders of magnitude away from the real-world conditions of nuclear fusion, which Banerjee readily acknowledges. He is nonetheless hopeful that future research will improve the predictability of just what happens within the pellets in their high-temperature, high-pressure environments. "We’re another cog in this giant wheel of researchers,” he said. “And we’re all working towards making inertial fusion cheaper and therefore, attainable.”.
