SARS-CoV-2 virions that cause pneumonia originate not from elsewhere but from the the upper airways of the some patient – turned out from the work of Hungarian researchers, which was published at the end of the last year by Scientifc Reports. They have shown that it is very unlikely that Read more…
On 19 January 2021, the Centre for Energy Research and the Moroccan Centre National de l’Energie, des Sciences et des Techniques Nucléaires (CNESTEN) signed a cooperation agreement. The event took place on-line due to the pandemic. The parties agreed to utilize the research reactor in Budapest, to cooperate on several Read more…
An independent panel of experts reviewed the R&D and design work of EUROfusion, the European fusion research organization, at DEMO, the future demonstration fusion power plant, from 19 to 25 November 2020. The Hungarian member of the 5-member international body is Prof. Dr. Attila Aszódi, professor of the Institute of Read more…
At the end of 2020, the operation with new lead test fuel assemblies optimized for the water-uranium ratio will be started at the Paks Nuclear Power Plant. The new fuel elements have a thinner cladding than the current one and the traditional hollow uranium dioxide pellets used so far will Read more…
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…
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…
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…
The Óbuda University and the Centre for Energy Research have renewed their previous cooperation agreement. The parties will make joint efforts in a number of areas in research and education, and help each other regarding graduate and doctoral training. After signing the cooperation agreement, the delegation of the Óbuda University Read more…
The project titled „Application of chip-technology for improvement efficiency of human in-vitro fertilisation” (GINOP-2.3.2-15-2016-00021) and leaded by University of Pécs (PTE) was finished officially. The main goal of the project was to increase the success rate of artificial insemination (in vitro fertilisation) by the initiation of a novel analytical diagnostic Read more…
A flash of purple plasma followed by applause echoing over a video connection: on 29th October, the UK’s new fusion device MAST Upgrade officially commenced operation. EUROfusion asked experts from around Europe about their involvement in this new fusion experiment. A cored apple is the favorite image that the British Read more…
