Summary
This book offers an accessible overview of the diverse approaches being pursued to make fusion energy a reality. Rather than diving into the underlying physics or speculating over future predictions, Nuclear Fusion: At Last? focuses on what can be known today: the technologies, the experiments, the challenges, and the players shaping the field.
Organised into four parts, the book begins with a broad introduction to fusion before presenting a clear, structured overview…

Andrea Di Vita
Andrea Di Vita is a physicist with over 20 years of expertise in nuclear fusion, thermodynamics, and thermoacoustics. He graduated cum laude in plasma physics with a dissertation on radiofrequency heating of tokamak plasmas. He has spent decades in the energy industry and served as a visiting scientist at ENEA, JET, and Università di Genova.
His research experience includes:
- Time-dependent energy balances of IGNITOR and SPARC tokamaks
- Non-inductive current drive in the JET tokamak
- Energy balance and saturation process of neutron yield in a dense plasma focus
- Collisions between plasmoids in the heliosphere
- Electrical conductivity of flames
- Simulation of radiative arcs in high-voltage circuit-breakers
- Saturation of thrust in magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters for space propulsion
- Onset of thermoacoustic instabilities
- Thermodynamics of relaxation in plasmas and related variational principles
Dr. Di Vita has authored and co-authored 32 publications on these topics, as well as one handbook on non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
