Brightsite has recently been awarded a MOOI (Missiegedreven Onderzoek, Ontwikkeling en Innovatie – Mission-driven Research, Development and Innovation) subsidy, which it will use to develop plasma technology together with a new consortium.

Who is the greatest scientific talent in the Netherlands and Belgium? Heat shield specialist Peter Rindt has a chance to win the title of New Scientist Science Talent (Wetenschapstalent) 2021. The editors of New Scientist chose the fusion researcher as a nominee from more than 50 submissions.

Using machine learning is a promising trend in modelling the behaviour of the plasma inside a nuclear fusion reactor. DIFFER-researchers are pioneering very fast neural network models for plasma turbulence.

DIFFER PhD student Karel van de Plassche came up with a clever approach to improve the system that is crucial for sharing information and performing experiments in the international ITER Organization.

Using more eyes to control fusion reactions: EUROfusion granted a project on multivariable feedback control of radiative loss processes.
