Highlight Seminar: Ned Sauthoff, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

princeton.edu ABSTRACT Fusion powers the stars. By combining nuclei, fusion liberates more than a million times more energy per pound of fuel than by chemical reactions. The abundance of geographically dispersed fuel, combined with safety and environmental advantages, motivates the pursuit of controlled fusion as a possible source of power. A barrier to fusion reactions … Read more
