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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 colour comes from the fuel, which is basically hydrogen. Hydrogen gives out two different colours, a strong red and aqua-blue, which combine to give the pink colour that shows up in most pictures.

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 ...

Explainer video about the JET record by EUROfusion programme manager Tony Donné: Watch the video on YouTube! Landmark results from EUROfusion scientists and engineers at world-leading Joint European ...

Culminating their third and final deuterium-tritium campaign, EUROfusion researchers at the Joint European Torus (JET) achieved groundbreaking results in fusion research and technology, setting new ...

150 million degrees Celsius In order to achieve fusion on Earth, gases need to be heated to extremely high temperatures of about 150 million degrees Celsius. That is 10 times more than the ...
