Will fusion one day solve the energy crisis? How does it work? What’s it like to work with the largest tokamak (a giant magnetic doughnut!) to make plasmas that are hotter than the Sun itself?
What questions do YOU want our experts to answer?
Join postgraduate students from the Fusion CDT on an exploration of the power of the Sun and fusion energy.
