Hier der Versuch, die Fusionsfirmen/-startups, die es so gibt, zu sortieren.

PhD-student wanted: the project is about plasma-technological processes that use electrical energy from renewables to provide base chemicals for the chemical synthesis industry or to produce synthetic fuels. Mostly numerical, with a few experiments. Awaiting your applications!

On my way to Culham (well, just arrived, obviously), home of both, the world largest tokamak and the world largest spherical tokamak.

If stellarators are your thing, you might be interested to hear that ~60 stellarators have been operated or are currently in operation around the world. You might also like this plot, showing their magnetic field strength and major radius (symbol size indicative of minor radius)

Interested in what typical master theses projects with fusion relevant topics typically look like? This meeting at the @Uni_Stuttgart might be for you: master students from around Europe will defend their theses, in-person, open to anyone. igvp.uni-stuttgart.de/aktuel…

I'm wondering if any of my fusion friends here knows the difference between the L-2 and the L-2M stellarator...? I would be interested to know!

Poster session at the #eps2023 : warm (rather hot to be honest), noisy, exhausting, but at the same time great because all these are probably just due to the intense discussions going on at the posters. Really enjoying it!

First in person EPS conference on Plasma Physics in Bordeaux about to start, already excited and looking forward to meet colleagues and friends from around the world I haven't seen in 4 years! #eps2023

When the conference organizer publishes the schedule 3 weeks before the conference, you see that your presentation is scheduled for Friday afternoon and of course you have already booked the return trip, leaving the conference site on Friday at lunch time.

"When I draw a molecule in China or in Argentina, it is the same molecule. People understand immediately without knowing Spanish or Chinese. That is beautiful. Our common goal is not about power or borders of the country, it is about bringing forward human knowledge." Ben Feringa

Interesse an Plasma, Fusionsforschung & mehr? Kommt heute am Tag der Wissenschaft an der @Uni_Stuttgart vorbei, und fragt uns Löcher in den Bauch! Stand im Pfaffenwaldring 9, Labore im Pfaffenwaldring 31.

Kürzlich schrieb @rahmstorf, ITER sei „Geldverschwendung, die dem Klima mehr schadet als nützt“, x.com/rahmstorf/status/16400… Ich folge @rahmstorf schon lange, habe viel vom ihm gelesen, bin großer Befürworter von vielem, was er sagt. Hier irrt er allerdings, ein Thread:

Ich persönlich sehe die Fusionsenergie als eine mögliche wichtige Komponente in einer zukünftigen emissionsarmen Energieversorgung, also Bestandteil eines Mixes in dem selbstverständlich auch erneuerbare Energien enthalten sind.

Mix ist dabei das Zauberwort, schließlich wissen wir, dass Monokulturen meist keine gute Idee sind. Meiner Meinung nach wäre es daher fahrlässig, Fusionsforschung nicht weiter zu betreiben.
