Porous tungsten scrubbed by glow discharge cleaning
Researchers conducted experiments in Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory’s Lithium Tokamak Experiment-Beta (LTX-β) showing glow discharge cleaning can be used to effectively clean samples of porous tungsten—used to hold liquid lithium in fusion machine inner walls—manufactured from powder-reconstituted materials, according to a paper published in Nuclear Materials and Energy.
Tungsten is widely used for plasma-facing components in fusion machines, especially in the divertor region where materials must withstand extreme levels of power flow. According to the paper, spark plasma sintering can be used to make tungsten into spongelike samples for holding liquid lithium.

Want to learn how to roast your own coffee beans or brew your own beer? Have questions on the on how to bake the best cold brew? Or maybe learn the difference between an ale and lager?
Come join us at the first ever "Brewers and Roasters" Happy Hour being hosted by the ANS 2021 Student conference!
We have serval home brewers (including, Harsh Desai, Mark DeHart, and Art Wharton) and local coffee roasters (such as, Global Village and Pine Roast Coffee in Raleigh) to talk about the details of the brewing and roasting process. Bring your favorite beverage and learn more about these hobbies while catching up with your peers on Friday night.
Feel free to send questions for our panelists in advance to Ishita Trivedi.
