Policies for European domestic battery production boost

A new study by Fraunhofer ISI recently published in Nature Energy explores how domestic battery production in Europe can be expanded and how the European continent can become more independent from other parts of the world. The study derives policy recommendations from modelled scenarios how to strengthen the European battery industry.

 

Press Release I 04th of March 2025

New high-performance mirrors for laser fusion

Laser-driven fusion power plants are considered a key technology on the road to climate neutrality. Highly reflective and thermally stable mirror systems are crucial for these fusion power plants in order to transport the laser light from the beam source to the tiny capsule of fusion fuel. In the new SHARP research project, new types of high-performance mirrors are being developed for this purpose.
