Is #fusion still "30 years away" or is the future here? Let's discuss Tuesday, June 14 at #ANSannual, with @ARPAE Program Dir. @ScottCHsu as moderator and panelists from
@ORNLfusion, @TAE, @univkyoto, @UCLA, @energy_common, and Lower Carbon Capital: https://t.co/evs5J27GKZ
Plasma makes up the sun. It also causes magnetic reconnection, a phenomena that can cause space storms that interfere with satellites & the grid. Peiyun Shi @WestVirginiaU used @NERSC & a laser-based diagnostic to probe plasma & understand this phenomenon. https://t.co/5wTlpQYbbC
Fusion has the potential to be a game-changing technology to help us:
➡️ achieve net-zero emissions by 2050,
➡️ protect energy security,
➡️ and enhance U.S. technology leadership.

@jaztrophysicist Cool! Didn't expect all of the attention that this is getting (good for the facility and for the U. Iowa gang that led the experiments)
Thrilled to have @ScienceUnderSec on campus today to visit UCLA's Basic Plasma Science Facility and talk with our researchers and students about the future of plasma and fusion research! Our federal partnerships are so important!
Big thanks to the @UCLA team for taking me inside my first tokamak! Enjoyed seeing the impressive @ENERGY/@NSF user facility doing plasma physics research on site.
Just finished visiting the Basic Plasma Science Facility at @UCLA. Sometimes you need tools that are not too big and not too small but just right—here we can look at plasmas that you don’t see in smaller devices or are hard to study in larger facilities -Director Chris Fall
