DARPA (DSO): Mechanisms for Amplification of fusion Reaction Rates in Solids (MARRS)

MARRS will assess fundamental mechanisms that underpin solid state fusion reactions to determine the best way to predictively and reproducibly amplify fusion rates. The  program emphasizes advancing our fundamental understanding with predictive models and experimental demonstrations of significant fusion rate increases on the path to rates required for future applications.
