Questions
- Based on the textbook for our course, my understanding is that the main drawback with fusion reactors is how much energy is required to heat the plasma. Do you think the solution for this come from finding ways to make the heating process more efficient, or more likely finding ways to release more energy from the fusion process? Can you give any examples of how scientists have improved the process or the reactors so far to make this more viable as an energy source? by Katie S to Leah Comments: (No comments so far )
- We do the classic light interference pattern experiment in class. It’s fascinating to see this setup is still used in current research, i.e. with antimatter positrons as you talk about on your profile..
