University of York in quest for fusion power
A NEW centre at the University of York is leading the quest for carbon-free, safe energy.
The university is to lead a new centre for doctoral training which also involves the universities of Durham, Liverpool, Manchester and Oxford, and will receive Government funding and look at fusion technology.
Fusion is the process that powers the sun. If scientists can harness fusion power on Earth, it could provide effectively limitless, carbon-free, safe energy.
The centre will train PhD students, across areas such as plasma and materials science, including related fusion technologies.
