Experimental and numerical modeling of liposome congregation in meteorite craters of Early Earth

Vladimir M. Subbotin, Benjamin A. Turner, Brian A. Davies +2

This paper provides experimental and numerical evidence supporting the occurrence of liposome congregation at the floors of meteor craters on Early Earth. This work builds on our e…

Heuristic model on the origin of the homochirality of life

Vladimir Subbotin, Gennady Fiksel

Life demonstrates remarkable homochirality of its major building blocks: nucleic acids, amino acids, sugars, and phospholipids. We propose a mechanism that places the root of life…

Structure of self-generated magnetic fields in laser-solid interaction from proton tomography

Jesse Griff-McMahon, Christopher A. Walsh, Vicente Valenzuela-Villaseca +9

Strong magnetic fields are naturally self-generated in high-power, laser-solid interactions through the Biermann-battery mechanism. This work experimentally characterizes the 3D lo…

X-ray imaging and electron temperature evolution in laser-driven magnetic reconnection experiments at the National Ignition Facility

V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, J. M. Molina, D. B. Schaeffer +13

We present results from X-ray imaging of high-aspect-ratio magnetic reconnection experiments driven at the National Ignition Facility. Two parallel, self-magnetized, elongated lase…

Enhanced proton acceleration in an applied longitudinal magnetic field

Alexey Arefiev, Toma Toncian, Gennady Fiksel

Using two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, we examine how an externally applied strong magnetic impacts proton acceleration in laser-irradiated solid-density targets. We f…
