Applications are open for the 2026 Engineering Grants funding individual post-master engineering projects for 2-years ...

The EUROfusion programme is based on the Roadmap to the Realisation of Fusion Energy. The programme has two main pillars: Preparing for ITER experiments Developing a concept for the future ...

Current fusion experiments were primarily designed to investigate plasma physics. However, DEMO must demonstrate the necessary technologies not only for controlling a more powerful plasma than has ...

Following Eddington’s paper, Robert d’Escourt Atkinson and Fritz Houtermans provided the first calculations of the rate of nuclear fusion in stars. And at the same time, Ernest Rutherford was ...

To realise fusion, the EUROfusion consortium brings together 4800 researchers, staff and students from its 28 member institutes, 3 associated partners, and 162 affiliated entities from across Europe.

Plasma physicists combine three parameters – temperature, density and time – by multiplying them together to form what is known as the fusion product or triple product. At a certain value of the ...

At temperatures of 15 million degrees Celcius in the Sun’s core, hydrogen gas becomes plasma, the fourth state of matter. In a plasma, the negatively charged electrons in atoms are completely ...

The result came as part of an experimental campaign to verify operating scenarios for future fusion machines, under conditions as close as possible to those in ITER and future fusion power plants. The ...

Binding energy The key to why some atoms split and release energy while others fuse to do the same lies in how tightly the protons and neutrons are held together. If a nuclear reaction produces nuclei ...

EUROfusion’s Fusion Science programme is designed to coordinate the pan-European scientific research and experiments following the EUROfusion Roadmap to gather as much knowledge as possible to ensure ...

The EUROfusion roadmap forms the basis for the programme of EUROfusion and provides a clear and structured way forward to commercial energy from fusion. Since 2012, when the first version of the ...

On June 24, the Slovenian Fusion Association (SFA) celebrated its 20th Anniversary. Since its establishment in 2005, SFA has played a vital role in coordinating fusion research in Slovenia and linking ...
