On May 1, 2020, DIFFER group leader Gerard van Rooij has been appointed Professor of Plasma Chemistry at the Faculty of Science at Maastricht University (UM).
An important part of the future fusion reactor ITER can withstand at least a year of full power operations, write researchers at DIFFER and ITER in Physica Scripta.
Een belangrijk onderdeel van de toekomstige fusiereactor ITER is bestand tegen minstens een jaar in vol bedrijf. Dat stelden onderzoekers van DIFFER en ITER vast door stukken van de reactorwand bijna twintig uur bloot te stellen aan een intens plasmabombardement in Magnum-PSI, de enige faciliteit ter wereld die daartoe in staat is.
By combining a deep understanding of plasma physics with machine learning techniques, DIFFER researchers developed a new ultrafast neural network model of the turbulent plasma in a fusion reactor.
