Physicist Isabel Krebs joins DIFFER to study and optimize computational models for hybrid operation scenarios in tokamak fusion reactors. These offer a possibility for longer, more stable discharges in future fusion power plants. Isabel Krebs' Postdoc postion at DIFFER is funded by one of the prestigious Researcher Grants of EUROfusion, the European consortium for fusion energy research.

It sounds like magic: you put a dedicated device in contact with air, expose it to sunlight and it starts producing fuel, for free. That is the basic idea behind the fundamental research conducted by DIFFER, the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research, in association with Toyota Motor Europe (TME). The partnership aims to develop a device that absorbs water vapor, and splits it into hydrogen and oxygen directly using the sun’s energy. The LIFT (Launchpad for Innovative Future Technology) research proposal has now been rewarded a grant from the NWO ENW PPS Fund.
