“…In the near future, this technology could replace the chemical means for their production, overcoming the actual limitations in printing speed and price. The non-trivial internal structure of foams poses severe challenges for hydrodynamic simulation since it cannot be directly resolved in the codes and modelling them as homogeneous media of the same average density commonly fails when directly irradiated by the laser [135,144] , but they seem to be suitable when a foam with specific features is not directly exposed to the laser [145,146] . Some reduced models for the interaction of high-power lasers with foams have been developed over the years and implemented in hydrocodes [78,[147][148][149] , but a lot of work remains to solve the problem fully.…”

The recent achievement of fusion ignition with laser-driven technologies at the National Ignition Facility sets a historic accomplishment in fusion energy research. This accomplishment paves the way for using laser inertial fusion as a viable approach for future energy production. Europe has a unique opportunity to empower research in this field internationally, and the scientific community is eager to engage in this journey. We propose establishing a European programme on inertial-fusion energy with the mission to demonstrate laser-driven ignition in the direct-drive scheme and to develop pathway technologies for the commercial fusion reactor. The proposed roadmap is based on four complementary axes: (i) the physics of laser–plasma interaction and burning plasmas; (ii) high-energy high repetition rate laser technology; (iii) fusion reactor technology and materials; and (iv) reinforcement of the laser fusion community by international education and training programmes. We foresee collaboration with universities, research centres and industry and establishing joint activities with the private sector involved in laser fusion. This project aims to stimulate a broad range of high-profile industrial developments in laser, plasma and radiation technologies along with the expected high-level socio-economic impact.

The equation of state (EOS) of a low-density porous substance plasma is proposed in the form of continuous media EOS containing, as a pressure control parameter, the degree of plasma homogenization. This parameter is a function of the initial porous structure as well as the current values of plasma density and temperature. Using the partially homogenized-plasma EOS, an approximate analytical solution is found and numerical calculations were performed of the problem of thermal expansion of a flat layer of porous matter. The features of the obtained results are discussed in comparison with the case of a homogeneous substance of equivalent chemical composition. The proposed equation of state is used to analyze the experimental data on thermodynamic state of porous substance heated with laser and x-ray pulses as well as energy transfer in such a substance by laser-supported ionization wave.

Porous materials offer unique possibilities for the production of plasmas with controlled density profiles for experiments on laser–matter interaction. They are of growing relevance to many applications, such as inertial confinement fusion, fundamental research, and secondary sources. Understanding the processes of transformation of a porous solid into a plasma is of fundamental interest and is needed for producing materials with desired properties.
