Powering the future
Powering the Future is the Institute of Physics Schools and College Lecture 2010 - delivered by physicist and science communicator Dr Melanie Windridge.
The lecture will reveal:
- The physics behind the fusion reaction that powers the sun;
- How physicists are trying to replicate the fusion reaction in massive experiments at places such as JET, the world's largest nuclear fusion experiment in Culham;
- The potential for harnessing the energy produced in the fusion reaction as a future alternative to fossil fuels.
