Superconductors for fusion: a roadmap

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Nikolay Bykovskiy, Rainer Wesche

With the first tokamak designed for full nuclear operation now well into final assembly (ITER), and a major new research tokamak starting commissioning (JT60SA), nuclear fusion is becoming a mainstream potential energy source for the future. A critical par ...

Delayed gamma fraction determination in the zero power reactor CROCUS

Andreas Pautz, Vincent Pierre Lamirand, Oskari Ville Pakari, Pavel Frajtag, Tom Mager

Gamma rays are an inextricable part of a nuclear reactor's radiation field, and as such require characterization for dose rate estimations required for the radiation protection of personnel, material choices, and the design of nuclear facilities. Most comm ...

Anthropogenic- and natural sources of dust in peatland during the Anthropocene

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz

As human impact have been increasing strongly over the last decades, it is crucial to distinguish human-induced dust sources from natural ones in order to define the boundary of a newly proposed epoch -the Anthropocene. Here, we track anthropogenic signatu ...

Reversible acetylation of PGC-1: connecting energy sensors and effectors to guarantee metabolic flexibility

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Ellen Helena Jeninga

rganisms adapt their metabolism to meet ever changing environmental conditions. This metabolic adaptation involves at a cellular level the fine tuning of mitochondrial function, which is mainly under the control of the transcriptional co-activator prolifer ...

Snapshots of cooperative atomic motions in the optical suppression of charge density waves

Helmuth Berger

Macroscopic quantum phenomena such as high-temperature superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, ferrimagnetism and ferromagnetism arise from a delicate balance of different interactions among electrons, phonons and spins on the nanoscale(1). The stud ...

The effects of gamma-radiation on the properties of Brillouin scattering in standard Ge-doped optical fibres

Luc Thévenaz, Dario Alasia, Laura Abrardi

We have experimentally studied the effects of gamma-radiation up to very high total doses on the physical properties of Brillouin scattering in standard commercially available optical fibres. A frequency variation of about 5 MHz for both Brillouin frequenc ...
