[NuPECC @NuPECCinfo]

At its Bratislava meeting #NuPECC welcomed @ELINPMagurele as new institutional member. Great overview of recent progress in #ELINP by director Călin Ur (#IFINHH). #ELINP is the #nuclear physics pillar of the 🇪🇺 Extreme Light Infrastructure: high-power #lasers 🤝 #nuclear #physics

still in Romania but it looks like riding for the Tour de France #TDF

@Paddy_Regan @TRIUMFLab hope you got great data! is that DRAGON’s BGO array? did part of my PhD project there on 12C(alpha,gamma)16O

The working-from-home illusion fades but there is more to work (and life) than productivity. Perhaps the greatest virtue of remote work is that it leads to happier employees https://t.co/iXNkpQZAzV

Laser shots at @Livermore_Lab's National Ignition Facility could spark additional discoveries in astrophysics - https://t.co/wk6Kvn5lnb

glad to be back at the Institut fur Kernphysik at TU Darmstadt @TUDarmstadt

[catalin matei @catalinmatei]

this year, two of my nuclear astrophysics projects really took off in a pub. one is finalized, the other one almost done!

Did you know Lithium is the source of 2 cosmological mysteries? It was one of 3-4 elements "created" in the Big Bang, but we only see ~⅓ as much as we think we should. We also can’t find enough astrophysical sites that synthesize it! #NuclideSpotlight

back after 5 years at Duke Free Electron Laser Laboratory aka HIgS. A free electron laser is a different type of laser where optical amplification is achieved by passing relativistic electrons through a series of magnetic wigglers

car traffic between Predeal - Busteni amounts to one hour but it took me 25 minutes by bike. maybe a bike trail is not so crazy!

Surging fossil-fuel emissions are ruining carbon dating: a barrel of Scotch whisky distilled five months ago has the same level of C-14 radioactivity as a vintage one. https://t.co/WnIw5HgWq4

A neutron walks into a bar and asks how much for a drink.

The bartender says, For you? No charge.

NUCLEAR 101: The main job of a reactor is to house and control nuclear fission—a process where atoms split and release energy.

[NuScale Power @NuScale_Power]

NuScale is proud to be included in @POTUS's announcement at the G7 today as a flagship project for his Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment that will provide Romania with key support to deploy a VOYGR-6 SMR power plant in the country.

#WorldBicycleDay but first, change the inner tube

Happy #EuropeDay!

The map below shows all known battles of the last 4,000 years... and why the European project is so important! 🇪🇺

… everything that could be cancelled has been cancelled: travel, weddings, conferences, sports events, elections, celebrities, intellectuals, minor public figures… anything else to be cancelled in 2022? https://t.co/av2l2unPMA
