Successfully managing the exhaust is one of the major hurdles in realising fusion energy. The results have been published in ...

This work has been carried out within the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium, funded by the European Union via the Euratom Research and Training Programme (Grant Agreement No 101052200 — ...

The alternative divertor configuration (ADC) programme of EUROfusion has reached a significant milestone, gaining strong visibility through multiple publications in high-impact scientific journals and ...

Our current energy landscape is heavily dependent on the fast-depleting fossil fuels, with 80% of the global energy consumption being based on fossil fuels, and changing this dependence is critical to ...

Reaching durations such as these is a crucial milestone for machines like ITER, which will need to maintain fusion plasmas for several minutes. The end goal is to control the plasma, which is ...

Scientists and engineers from eight nations have carried out a project using lasers on the Joint European Torus (JET) to study fusion fuel retention. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), an ...

At the 49 th General Assembly held in Barcelona, December 2024, Dr. Gianfranco Federici was elected to be the new EUROfusion Programme Manager following a rigorous selection process. Dr. Federici ...

Gyrotrons are fundamental to the operation of fusion energy devices. These high-power microwave systems generate millimetre-wave electromagnetic radiation, which is essential for heating and driving ...

Fusion energy promises to deliver safe, sustainable, and low-carbon baseload power, complementing other clean energy sources like solar and wind. To achieve this, we need to address complex physics ...

The 2 nd JT-60SA International Fusion School (JIFS) took place between 26 th August 2024 and 6 th September 2024 at the QST Naka-site in Japan. The school jointly organized by EUROfusion and QST with ...

Modelling how fast fusion particles damage the tungsten inner walls of a fusion machine? Don't forget the braking effect of collisions with the ultra-light electrons in the tungsten, says PhD ...
