Good Morning folks! 🍩
In this inFusion edition, investments in non-electric applications of #fusion #energy and momentum in Fusion #rockets. Have a great weekend!

Last week we submitted a study to ApJL confronting the predictions from weakly compressible MHD theory with high Re simulations and in situ measurements of Earth’s high beta magnetosheath, showing agreement between theory, simulation and observations. https://t.co/ZBbYIRU3EQ

@VicenteValenz Let’s hope we will win this year! 🤞🏻

@astro_magnetism @VicenteValenz Amazing! At some point, I will have to steal your colormaps… look awesome.

Finally the collaboration everyone has been waiting for: @stemerlini 🤝 @VicenteValenz 🤝 me… shock-driven turbulence in the lab! Here we see the electron density and gradients, vorticity and divergence being generated at the shock-shock interface in one of our FLASH simulations

New research at the MAGPIE pulsed power facility reveals radiative cooling effects on accretion shocks formed by magnetised supersonic plasma flows. #plasma #physics #astrophysics @stemerlini https://t.co/I5mpb68PLG

Call for research proposals at DIII-D - is anybody planning to apply? 👀

[DIII-D National Fusion Facility @d3dfusion]

We are excited to announce that we're planning next year's research campaign. If you are interested in running a DIII-D experiment in FY2024, check out https://t.co/AfqOVwZNT3 for instructions (deadline: Dec 15). We can't wait to see the exciting #fusionenergy research proposed!

Great work!

Some days/years I thought I would never manage it, but I’m thrilled to say that our paper on the validity of classical transport theory in collisional plasmas is finally out (https://t.co/LtUVPOzvFi)! It's very long (a feature - see below), so here's a shorter summary thread. 1/

@bananelectrons Thanks 😊

Hi folks!

A new inFusion edition is out, talking about pulsed power devices, a public hearing about #fusion and a new possible explanation for stellar coronal heating.

Have a great rest of the week! 🍵

[Stefano Merlini @stemerlini]

A new inFusion edition is out!

Talking about the 30 years of #fusion #energy research at EPFL and the rationale behind #investing in Fusion start-ups. Have a great rest of the week! 🍵

Good morning folks!

In this inFusion edition, the UK closed a deal with Europe, while Germany plans to increase its national budget for Fusion Energy to €1 Bln. Enjoy! 🍵

@Danny_Russell__ Thank you Danny! 🙏🏻

[Stefano Merlini @stemerlini]

@is_fusion Glad it’s still relevant after 4 months from its creation 😆 thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻

[Stefano Merlini @stemerlini]

Happy Saturday folks!

A new inFusion edition from the archive - discussing new possible actions for policymakers to further support Fusion, new investors FOMOing in the space and a new partnership to tackle the tritium challenges!🍵 #fusionenergy
