INSTITUTO DE FUSIÓN NUCLEAR
"GUILLERMO VELARDE"
IFN-GV
The Instituto de Fusión Nuclear (IFN) “Guillermo Velarde” of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) is essentially devoted to Nuclear Research (basic and applied) related to both Nuclear Fusion and Fission are key goals in our program.
Plasma ionization exposed with ultra-short XUV light
Ionized matter, or plasma, is the most abundant known state of matter in our universe (rays, ionosphere, stars, accretion disks, etc ...) and has important technological applications (fluorescent tubes, plasma cutting, nuclear fusion, etc. …). Understanding this state...
Researchers at UNED have recently developed E-lite
According to Phys.org Tokamaks, devices that use magnetic fields to confine plasma into torus-shaped chamber, could play a crucial role in the development of highly performing nuclear fusion reactors. The ITER tokamak, which is set to be the largest nuclear tokamak in...
Two members of the IFN-GV take part in the European Physical Journal
The article "The joint evaluated fission and fusion nuclear data library, JEFF-3.3" has just been published in European Physical Journal. The article has O. Cabellos and P. Sauvan participation as members of the Instituto de Fusión Nuclear. This article collects the...
