“We should have launched an Iter project per continent” – L’Express
Nuclear fusion? It’s for thirty years, we usually say… for thirty years. Even today, nothing seems to contradict this assertion. The international Iter research project is accumulating difficulties. At the…
Iter, too much delay? – The Express
When we talk to him about the mega Iter project in the south of France, Guy Laval, a physicist specializing in plasmas, weighs his words. “On the one hand, it’s…
Nuclear fusion: Iter could release more energy than expected
A group of researchers from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has made an important discovery for the future of controlled fusion power generation by magnetic confinement. It therefore…

Nuclear energy: is it fossil or renewable?
Can nuclear energy be considered a renewable energy? The answer is no: uranium, used today for fission, remains a limited resource. However, if Man managed to master fusion, the situation…
Private companies engage in nuclear fusion
Since the 1950s, studies to harness nuclear fusion have been the domain of public research exclusively. Today, an exponential number of private players around the world are racing and betting…
Controlled fusion: what is it?
The fusion controlled is one of the dreams pursued by physicists. It is not only a question of reproducing on Earth the reactions of thermonuclear fusion that make the stars…
