📚 Lecture: "Harnessing the Power of the Stars on Earth: How Fusion Energy Will Power Humanity's Future"

🎤 Speaker: Physicist and Nuclear Engineer, Max Monange

What if the next great leap in human civilization wasn’t digital, but nuclear? Join us as Industry Expert & Nuclear Engineer, Max Monange explores fusion energy—the same process that powers the sun—as a foundation for a new era in human progress.

In this enlightening lecture, we’ll break down the basics of nuclear physics, discuss the current state of fusion research, and explore how harnessing the power of the stars on Earth could provide clean, limitless energy for generations to come. Max will make the case that fusion energy isn’t science fiction; it’s the energy revolution right at our doorstep after over 70 years of research.

Max Monange is a physicist-turned-nuclear engineer leading the U.S. arm of Japan’s first private laser fusion company. With his extensive background in nuclear engineering and passion for science communication, he bridges the gap between cutting-edge research and public understanding.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the future of fusion energy with Max Monange!
