Europe builds a sustainable future with fusion

ITER, a joint international research project, will attempt to reproduce on Earth the nuclear reactions that power the Sun and other stars. To test whether this is possible, plasma turbulence simulation and modelling tools are being developed, but these require a huge amount of computing power to process data. This is where EUFORIA, a €3.65 million EU-funded project, comes in. It aims to link computers from all over Europe and harmonise the simulations made in various areas of fusion.
