At the COP24 UN Conference on Climate Change in Katowice, ITER's (and former DIFFER colleague) Greg De Temmerman gave a strong overview of the potential of fusion energy and progress at the ITER site.
Zon en wind leveren een steeds groter deel van onze elektriciteit, maar de elektriciteitsvraag beslaat maar 20% van ons totale energieverbruik. Met zonnebrandstoffen kunnen we duurzame stroom omzetten in schone, CO2-neutrale brandstoffen. Lees er alles over in deze Zonnebrandstoffen-special van het NTvN - Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Natuurkunde.
The International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA) has appointed DIFFER group leader Prof. Marco de Baar as chair of its Realtime Specialists Working Group (RT-SWG). The ITPA is an international framework organised by the global ITER fusion project to coordinate fusion research.
Since the summer of 2018, DIFFER houses a transmission electron microscope (TEM) that is dedicated for structural analysis of inorganic materials. The microscope is accessible for researchers who want to image newly developed nanomaterials or thin films aimed at energy applications.
