Seminars

hb11 Energy seminar series

Scientific discussions among world experts interested in developing Laser Hydrogen Boron Fusion to generate clean energy. Outcomes from some of these seminars will be published in a special ‘Laser and Particle Beams’ Issue of one of the world’s largest fully open access journal publishers, relevant to the topic: ‘Advances in the Study of Laser-Driven Proton-Boron Fusion’.
