Turbulent dynamo targets

Caption

A close-up of the experimental target at the Laboratory of Laser Energetics, consisting of two foils and a pair of grids, held together by cylindrical shields. Each target is about the size of a penny. Researchers designed and machined the targets to produce a turbulent plasma at conditions never reached before in a laboratory setting.
