The Fusion Plasma Physics Department of ELKH’s Centre for Energy Research has been collaborating with the ITER Organization to build a support laboratory to develop and test technology for ITER’s Disruption Mitigation System (DMS). After less than two years, the test bench is fully operational and producing large pellets to Read more…
A team from the ELKH Centre for Energy Research, Hungary, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, has recently published work that may help provide insights into the variable response of cells to radiation exposure and cancer radiotherapy. Scientists have looked at the effect of irradiating cells in culture for Read more…
The interaction of electrons with each other and their topological properties result in quasiparticles such as Majorana bound states, fractionalized spin and charge, etc. Understanding the physics of these emergent quantum systems promises the realization of topological electronics, robust quantum bits, high temperature superconductivity, etc. Deep insights into new physics Read more…
Paris, June 13, 2022.
