A Sun on Earth: Nuclear Fusion and the Dream of Limitless Energy
Understand how scientists are working to recreate the power of the Sun on Earth.
This talk explores nuclear fusion, a clean, safe and virtually limitless source of energy that could help confront climate change. We will look at plasma, the fourth state of matter, tokamak devices, the TCV tokamak in Lausanne and the ITER project in France, then see how applied mathematics and supercomputers help simulate plasma turbulence.
What you'll gain:
What plasma is and how tokamaks confine it
Where ITER and global fusion research stand today
How mathematics and computing shape the energy of the future
Speaker: Ibrahim Almuslimani — Applied Mathematician, EPFL. He develops numerical algorithms to simulate plasma turbulence on supercomputers at the Swiss Plasma Center.
