The Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has announced the 1995 Technology Reinvestment Project (TRP) competition. Small precision-optics manufacturing is one of the eight technology focus areas included in the call for proposals. TR¥director Lee Buchanan characterizes the selected topics as having the greatest potential to ". . . produce direct, immediate benefits to the Department of Defense." The total funding for the competition is $160 million, $10 million of which is available under the Small Business Innovation Research program. The proposal deadline is June 29, 1995; awards will be announced in September 1995. For further information call (800) 382-5873.

Large-scale simulations demonstrate that chaos is responsible for stochastic heating of dense plasma by intense laser energy. This image shows a snapshot of electron distribution phase space (position/momentum) from the dense plasma taken from PIC simulations, illustrating the so-called 'stretching and folding' mechanism responsible for the emergence of chaos in physical systems.
