Abstract
- The article presents information related to a partially submerged particle accelerator in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In its 10 violent years of life, the Z machine, which was built to generate data for supercomputers that simulate nuclear explosions, has surprised its creators at Sandia National Laboratories. Using a technique known as the z-pinch, which sends massive current through a target, imploding it, the accelerator has unlocked a range of cosmic mysteries.
