(Latvijas Televīzija) University of Latvia, together with Estonian colleagues, have conducted a major research last year in the field of nuclear fusion reactors, Latvian Television reported January 25.
An in-depth understanding and forecasting of the functional properties of modern materials in extreme radiation conditions. This is one of last year s most important achievements in science, according to the Latvian Academy of Sciences. The study involves a new type of fusion reactor that could provide the world with inexhaustible and almost free energy on earth in the future, creating an artificial “sun”.
Last year, France launched the world s first experimental nuclear fusion reactor. In order for such a reactor to operate in the future, scientists from around the world have joined together. Aleksandrs Platoņenko, a researcher of the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia, is also conducting a study with colleagues that will allow
