At a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday, officials put golden shovels in the ground to mark the forthcoming Princeton Plasma Innovation Center (PPIC) project. The more than $100 million effort will rise ...

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

A national research program strategy on the use of liquid metals in fusion systems was discussed on Jan. 22 at the U.S.

The arrival of six truckloads of electrical supplies at a warehouse for the international ITER fusion experiment on Oct. 2 brings to a successful conclusion a massive project that will provide 120 ...

Scientific discoveries, educational opportunities and wide-ranging events highlighted the 62nd American Physical Society-Division of Plasma Physics annual meeting, which attracted participants from ...

Valeria Riccardo has joined the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory as the new head of engineering. She has more than 20 years of experience in project management, fusion design and analysis on two ...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is now accepting applications for its latest cohort of apprentices for fields including electrical engineering, ...

Exotic laser-produced high-energy-density (HED) plasmas akin to those found in stars and nuclear explosions could provide insight into events throughout the universe. Physicists at the U.S. Department ...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory with the Federal Green Challenge Region 2 Award in Waste Management on July 12. The laboratory was able to ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has successfully completed a three-year effort to dismantle and remove the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor. The reactor was a major contributor to research of ...
