First report on a brand new wide bandgap semiconductor, 2D indium nitride scientific paper of researchers from EK MFA (Institute of Technical Physics and Materials Science, Centre for Energy Research) in journal Advanced Materials

The wide bandgap semiconductors with direct bandgap can emit light as most people learned when Nobel prize was awarded for the LEDs in 2014. The researchers already had worked for about two decades on those materials like GaN, AlN and InN. The latter one, (indium nitride) was a little bit Read more…

One of the key technologies for the first power plant-sized fusion reactor to be tested at the Centre for Energy Research

Hungarian researchers and companies will develop a machine protection system for the international fusion project ITER. The Shattered Pellet Injector is designed to quickly quench the fusion reaction before it can damage the inner walls. The project was made possible through a 2.4 million euro tender won by the Fusion Read more…

Nuclear element analysis for the cost-optimization of npp decommissioning: assessment of raw materials to be used in nuclear-grade concretes

Concrete is a widely used building material that is a mixture of natural raw materials and – to a smaller extent – artificial additives. The raw materials and the mixing ratios determine the structural properties of the concrete, e.g. compressive strength, density, and aging properties. These properties are quantified via Read more…
