I love showing @LancsUniEng Chemical Engineers how to convert heat into work using a Stirling Engine. Shame it's only about 20% efficient though......... #thermodynamics

Science #WordOfTheWeek: Future fusion reactors will require fuel. Deuterium-tritium fuel (made of isotopes of hydrogen) is a likely candidate. It reaches fusion conditions at lower temps than other elements and releases more energy than other reactions: energy.gov/science/doe-expla…

Congratulations to Ville Jantonen on a successful PhD defense @KumpulaScience. It was a pleasure to act as your 'opponent'. We had a great discussion, I learned a lot and I very much enjoyed the Karonkka
