Our scientists have helped verify the superconducting wires that will power the world’s largest fusion energy project: ITER.

Their work ensures the giant magnets at the heart of the machine will perform flawlessly bringing us a step closer to clean energy.

new preprint: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/view/9055

Code used in research is key to the methods and scientific output and we should ensure it’s not just "available" but easy to verify and build on.

We present a practical tool to code review for scientists 🧪
