Physics World Instrumentation & Vacuum Briefing 2022

This free-to-read Physics World Instrumentation and Vacuum Briefing features interviews with leading personalities, technology updates and research news. It includes a report on the UK’s £220m STEP tokamak, which will be a prototype for fusion energy production when it opens in 2024. Elsewhere, Sara Fry from Atlas Copco explains how the company aims to cut its greenhouse-gas emissions by 46% by 2030, while Daniel Shaddock of Liquid Instruments discusses how the spaceborne LISA Pathfinder mission led to computer-based kit that can run test and measurement tasks.
