Beschreibung
Nuclear Fusion Research offers a comprehensive exploration of the global effort to unlock sustainable energy through nuclear fusion. The book examines the complex science, technology, and international collaborations driving this field forward. Readers gain insights into the physics of plasma confinement, where extremely hot, ionized gas is controlled using magnetic fields, and the demanding materials science needed to construct durable fusion reactors. The pursuit of fusion energy, which promises a clean and virtually limitless energy source, requires significant global collaboration, exemplified by projects like ITER. The book progresses logically, beginning with the foundational principles of nuclear fusion and then delving into various confinement methods, such as tokamaks and stellarators. It addresses the challenges of developing radiation-resistant materials and assesses international initiatives. A unique aspect of the book is its blend of scientific depth and accessible language, making complex topics understandable to a broad audience.
