As our library of videos shows, our research builds on decades of work on tokamaks and applies new technologies to make improvements.
An introductory leaflet detailing our developments and ambitions up to October 2017
Fusion is the energy of the stars. It is the joining together of small atomic nuclei to make larger ones, and it is the mechanism by which all the heavier elements in the universe are made.
