Wissenschaftler:innen aus ganz Europa führen derzeit gemeinsame @EUROfusion-Experimente mit dem Brennstoff künftiger Fusionskraftwerke durch. Diese 4 IPP-Forscher:innen nehmen am Joint European Torus (JET), UK, teil. Wir sind gespannt auf die Ergebnisse #fusionenergy #nuclearfusion #physics

20) A reminder, when you encounter #Windfarm objectors, advise them that turbines can be disassembled when we achieve #NuclearFusion. Until then, we’re in emergency mode to stop poison being spilled into the atmosphere

As Britain tries to legislate a #CleanEnergy transition a variety of objections are being raised. Each one aids the #Carbonarchy

Remind your politician NOT to aid the #Oilygarchy

Nein, wir können euch gerade keine neuen experimentellen Ergebnisse von Wendelstein 7-X liefern. Der Stellarator wird noch für dem Rest des Jahres gewartet. Aber wir wollen euch noch einmal auf unser fantastisches Video hinweisen, in dem Ihr in gut fünf Minuten alles Wichtige über die Anlage erfahrt.

How Hydrogen Bombs Work, Who Invented, Why They Were Created (1952) Post-WWII

>H-bombs use a combination of nuclear fission and fusion and are far more powerful than atomic bombs.

The last week of July 2023 was remarkable for physics, as two major breakthroughs were announced in superconductivity and nuclear fusion. Superconductivity is the phenomenon of zero electrical resistance and perfect diamagnetism in certain materials at very low temperatures. Nuclear fusion combines two lighter nuclei into a heavier one, releasing enormous amounts of energy. #Superconductivity #NuclearFusion #Physics https://www.newsweek.com/superconductor-nuclear-fusion-breakthroughs-revolutionize-physics-1818618?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FMind+and+Matter

Advancing the fight against global warming, nuclear fusion technology aims to create a "mini-sun" on Earth. As an endless energy source without greenhouse gas emissions, it's becoming a focal point in energy innovation. #NuclearFusion #GlobalWarming #EnergyInnovation

@SocraticEthics It’s only taken 60 years and untold billions of dollars for controlled #NuclearFusion to not LOSE energy, which by the way is conserved by the 1st Law of #Thermodynamics. 🤔

You know how sometimes, when starting up a pull cord lawnmower, it takes a few tries before it starts working? Well, that kind of happened in the world of nuclear fusion recently: https://fortune.com/2023/08/06/nuclear-fusion-ignition-breakthrough-repeated-by-lab

Cautiously optimistic about all the scientific breakthroughs that feel like.. MAYBE they could be in the realm of possibility after all? 🤞😖🤞

"Scientists at the #California-based Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory repeated the breakthrough in an experiment in the National Ignition Facility (#NIF) on 30 July that produced a higher energy yield than in December, a Lawrence Livermore spokesperson said."

A promising advance but still a long way to go.

ITER is a project that aims to create the world’s first nuclear fusion reactor in France. However, the project has faced many setbacks and delays due to technical and political challenges. This means that ITER may not achieve its goal of producing more energy than it consumes by 2035. #ITER #nuclearfusion #energy https://www.thecooldown.com/green-business/iter-nuclear-fusion-reactor-france-setbacks/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

@BlumeEvolution I'd agree with #SolarPunk, but I do not buy this #NuclearFusion thing. We cannot continue as we did, with too large cars, too much fast fashion, too much air travel, too much animals eaten. With proper incentives, "the economy" still won't collapse. Money wants to go round: the same amount of money spent on repairing a phone/bike/car vs buying new has the same economical use. This also goes for having locally made ice cream vs fast fashion. In both cases the planet wins.

Wenn einem die Ehrendoktorwürde der University of York verliehen wird, ist es nicht damit getan, eine Urkunde überreicht zu bekommen. Man wird Teil einer uralten Zeremonie mit strenger Kleiderordnung. Gratulation an IPP-Direktorin Sibylle Günter, der diese Ehre gestern zuteil wurde. Das Foto zeigt sie vor der Zeremonie mit Prof. Howard Wilson von der University of York.

Auf dem Weg zu einem Fusionskraftwerk spielt das europäische Programm Eurofusion, dem das IPP angehört, eine entscheidende Rolle. Jetzt haben die Mitglieder per Wahl eine bedeutende Management-Position neu besetzt: Prof. Ambrogio Fasoli wird der neue Leiter der EUROfusion Programme Management Unit (PMU).

Gratulation und viel Erfolg, Ambrogio!

Und vielen Dank an Prof. Tony Donné, der das Amt in den vergangenen Jahren ausübte.

#ScifiVsReality Nuclear fusion is a reaction that powers the sun. This technology has the potential to halve the travel time to planets. The drive can only be tested when the fusion rocket engine can be operated in 2027. #Scifi #NuclearFusion https://bit.ly/3pLSFKj

"#Redochre—Fe2O3—is a simple compound of iron and oxygen that absorbs yellow, green and blue light and appears red. It’s what makes red paint red. It’s really cheap because it’s really plentiful. And it’s really plentiful because of #nuclearfusion in #dyingstars."

#PulsarFusion wants to use #nuclearfusion to make interstellar space travel a reality | #TechCrunch https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/07/pulsar-fusion-interstellar-space-travel-a-reality/

@foolishowl @almostconverge @stavvers
At the atomic level, #NuclearFusion in a reactor is identical to the nuclear fusion process that powers the sun, so when the 1st generation #FusionReactors start coming online in the next decade or so, I wonder if people will call them "#SolarPowered."

I mean, they wouldn't be right, but they wouldn't exactly be wrong, either. 🤔
