Researchers from DIFFER and collaborators have developed a catalyst from simple materials that generates ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen at relatively low temperatures. This Thursday, they publish their findings in Nature Catalysis.

Alex van de Steeg (DIFFER and TU/e) mapped CO2 plasmas to figure out the reactions at play when CO2 splits into other molecules at temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun. Recently he obtained his PhD cum laude.

The growing production of renewable, but intermittent electricity, gives rise to a need for new electroactive molecules and materials that can be used in batteries for energy storage.

EUROfusion announced record results in a new deuterium-tritium campaign in JET. EUROfusion states these results are the clearest demonstration in a quarter of a century of the potential for fusion energy to deliver safe and sustainable low-carbon energy.

Jonathan Citrin is one of the hundreds of scientists in the collaboration working on the Joint European Torus (JET) experiments. He leads the Integrated Modeling and Transport group at DIFFER. His group contributed so called “Predict First” tokamak simulations to the JET deuterium-tritium (D-T) experiments.
