Special fusion edition of Nature Physics | 05/05/2016
Three CCFE scientists and engineers are among the contributors to a new issue of Nature Physics journal's Insight supplement, dedicated to fusion research.
The publication focuses on the achievements made in fusion research so far and the trials ahead, highlighting that at the core of nuclear fusion lies some fascinating physics.
Professor Steve Cowley's article "The Quest for Fusion Power" is an introduction to the science behind fusion, the potential of nuclear fusion as an energy source, progress and remaining challenges. Rob Buckingham and Tony Loving of Culham's RACE centre are authors of a review article on the use of remote handling technology in fusion and beyond, based on the experience developed at JET over the last 20 years.
Editors Bart Verberck and Andrea Taroni comment: "We hope the edition conveys the excitement surrounding fusion plasma physics. The journey towards fusion energy is without doubt one that is worth making."
