?? A new era for high-intensity laser research is here, and LaserNetUS is thrilled to be part of it! Last week, LaserNetUS Coordinator Chandra Breanne Curry, along with Félicie Albert, LaserNetUS Point of Contact for the Jupiter Laser Facility, and Roger Falcone, Chair of the LaserNetUS Scientific Advisory Board, represented LaserNetUS at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Advanced Technology Lasers for Applications and Science (ATLAS) Facility at Colorado State University’s Foothills Campus! LaserNetUS strongly supports this substantial $150 million investment in advancing high-intensity laser research. As the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Undersecretary for Science & Innovation Dr. Geraldine Richmond highlighted, this facility is “more than a building—it’s a leap forward for our community, bringing new technical capabilities, training, and career opportunities” that will strengthen the U.S.'s leadership in laser science. Thank you to CSU, Marvel Fusion, and the DOE for your vision and partnership. We’re excited about what this means for the future of LaserNetUS and for the next generation of laser scientists and engineers. ??
