Am 20. Oktober 2025 um 14:15 Uhr findet das nächste Physikalische Kolloquium zum Thema "Laser fusion as a promising pathway to fusion energy" im Röntgen-Hörsaal des Physikalischen Instituts und online via Zoom statt.
With the recent demonstration of fusion ignition and burn and the first energy gain from controlled fusion reactions, the laser-based fusion approach has become a promising concept for fusion energy. While not supported in Germany until a few years ago, Germany has a huge potential in taking the lead on laser-fusion research, based on its excellent science and technology in optics and lasers.
Focused Energy is a US/German Startup company, spin-off the Technische Universität Darmstadt that has gathered the world experts in laser fusion in the last two years. I will review the recent results at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory National Ignition Facility and sketch a pathway from this groundbreaking result to a first fusion reactor prototype.
