  The Guardian of Fusion

  Feb 9, 202630 minS0

  <p> </p> <p>In this episode of the ITER podcast, we meet the “guardian of fusion” – the extraordinary blanket system that shields our star‑in‑a‑bottle. Guided by warrior‑and‑dragon imagery inspired by Chinese legend, and some very down‑to‑earth engineering, podcast hosts Kruti Fayot and Julia Ponomareva explore how ITER’s blanket and tungsten first wall protect the machine, tame furious neutrons, and quietly turn a raging plasma into something as familiar as hot water in a kettle.</p> <p>Mechanical engineer Jinke Fu introduces Nezha, a mythical Chinese rebel‑guardian, while ITER experts Ryan Hunt, Sophie Carpentier, and Si...

  It's Magnetic

  Jul 21, 202524 minS3

  <p>Ever wondered why and how scientists will recreate the power of a star on Earth?</p> <p>In this episode of It's Magnetic of Season 3 "Behind the Science of Fusion" join host Kruti and fusion analyst Jack Moore as they unveil the magnetic magic behind ITER's fusion reactor. Discover how superconducting magnets creating fields 250,000 times stronger than the Earth's own magnetic field and can suspend plasma hotter than the sun in mid-vacuum—without touching anything. It's not one of David Copperfield's illusions; it's cutting-edge science.</p> <p>From the "Princeton D" shaped coils to the royal central solenoid (she's our...

  Taming The Wild

  May 5, 202523 minS3

  <p>🎙️ At the heart of fusion energy lies one of the universe’s most untamed elements: plasma — a high-energy state of matter seen in lightning, the aurora, and most spectacularly, in our sun. Scientists have spent decades trying to control it. But why?</p> <p>In this episode, host Kruti Fayot dives into the fascinating world of plasma: what it is, why it’s essential for fusion, how it’s being tamed inside machines like ITER, and the surprising role AI might play in the future of clean energy.</p> <p>Featuring insights from ITER experts Javier Artola, Michael Walsh, and Alberto Loarte...

  Tokamaks

  Mar 31, 202521 minS3

  <p>🚀 Ever wondered how scientists are trying to recreate the power of the sun on Earth? In this latest episode, we dive into the fascinating world of tokamaks - donut-shaped magnetic cages that could be the key to unlimited clean energy! Join host Kruti as she unravels the mysteries of fusion with expert insights from ITER scientists and her collaborator Jack Moore, exploring how decades of research are bringing us closer to harnessing the same energy that powers stars. From tiny experimental devices to massive reactors, discover the incredible journey of fusion science and why tokamaks might just be humanity's mos...
