Fusion Power
Fusion power holds the promise of an essentially limitless, clean, and safe energy source, that could play a transformative role in a clean energy transition. This technology seeks to replicate the process powering the sun, where light atomic nuclei are fused together to form a heavier nucleus, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. While this technology remains some way off, the potential of this process is such that is must remain a high priority.
Researchers in RASEI are using advanced computational modeling to explore the theoretical foundations of this science and developing detailed understanding of the processes involved.
