DIFFER seminar: Demonstration of ignition and a burning fusion plasma on the National Ignition Facility

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
The demonstration of nuclear fusion in the laboratory and eventual utilization as an unlimited energy source has been a grand challenge for physicists and engineers for 70 years. The realization as an industrial energy source would have a tremendous impact on our society and would change our approach to energy policy and climate change.

DIFFER Seminar: How Black Holes Shine: Extreme plasma physics

Seminar, to
Black hole
Astrophysical black holes are surrounded by accretion disks, jets, and coronae consisting of magnetized relativistic plasma. They produce observable high-energy radiation from nearby the event horizon and it is currently unclear how this emission is exactly produced.

DIFFER Seminar: Electrochemical lithium-ion extraction

Seminar, to
Volker Presser
We synthesize, characterize, and apply functional nanomaterials. We use electrochemistry to enable, among others, energy storage (supercapacitors, redox electrolytes, batteries), water treatment (desalination, pollutant removal), and tailored ion recovery (esp. Lithium recovery).
