Fusion in focus at Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition

An interactive fusion energy display is set to inspire visitors at an annual showcase of the UK’s new developments in scientific research.

The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2022, which runs from 6 to 10 July, offers unique experiences, and a weekend programme of activities and workshops for all ages.

A team from the UK Atomic Energy Authority will be at the event to answer three major questions: What is fusion; why is it so challenging, and what is the solution to providing low carbon and sustainable energy in the future?

Returning as an in-person event for the first time since 2019, visitors to Summer Science can meet hundreds of scientists from 16 research groups selected from universities and institutions across the UK.

A full list of research groups confirmed for Summer Science 2022 can be found at the Royal Society site or follow #summerscience on social media channels.
