Researchers’ Night 2024: Science Meets the Public in Piazza del Duomo

On Friday, September 27th, from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, under the arches of the Arengario in Piazza del Duomo, the highly anticipated Researchers’ Night will take place. This event is part of the project “Co.Science – Meet Research To Connect Science And Society” organized by CNR, Università degli Studi dell’Insubria, Museo Nazionale Scienza e

A new method for measuring fusion power

Recently, a group of researchers from ISTP, in collaboration with their associates from the University of Milan Bicocca, Italian researchers from ENEA research center in Frascati and University of Milan and a group foreign researchers, demonstrated a new and alternative method for measuring fusion power in tokamaks using a deuterium and tritium mixture.The method, demonstrated

Article #9 – The Article of Research – CNR meets the schools

‘The Republic promotes the development of culture and scientific and technical research. (omissis).’ This is what Article 9 of the Constitution says, establishing among the fundamental principles the strategic role played by Research and Science for the development and innovation of communities. On Feb. 29, 2024 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Expo

New solutions for future fusion power plants tested at the Joint European Torus

The EUROfusion consortium announced the completion of the third deuterium-tritium experimental campaign at the Joint European Torus (JET). The third and final series of deuterium-tritium experiments at the UKAEA’s Joint European Torus successfully achieved its goal! The campaign investigated the processes that will come into play in future fusion power plants, like fuel retention in

Towards a new CNR: what tools to face the challenges of increasingly interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research

CNR researchers increasingly carry out research on complex systems for which interdisciplinarity is an essential requirement. However, putting interdisciplinarity into practice represents a very difficult challenge. Unlike multidisciplinarity, in which disciplines meet while maintaining their autonomy, interdisciplinarity implies the shared creation of a theoretical framework of the objectives, concepts, methods and terminologies adopted. Added to

CNR delegation visiting ITER

Lo scorso 30 maggio, una rappresentanza del Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche (Cnr), guidata dalla Presidente Maria Chiara Carrozza, ha visitato a Cadarache, nel sud della Francia, il sito dove è in costruzione ITER, l’impianto sperimentale più grande al mondo per la fusione termonucleare controllata.  ITER si propone di dimostrare che è possibile produrre energia da fusione
