The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory celebrated America Recycles Day this week after recently winning a state Recycling Leadership Award for its recycling and sustainability programs.
Article describes ground-breaking insight into measuring laser-produced high energy density plasmas.
U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm recently paid a visit to the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory where she met with staff, took a virtual tour of the Laboratory, and learned more about PPPL's primary mission of developing fusion energy as clean and abundant source of electricity as well as expanded research directions exploring plasma applications in microelectronics and sustainability and advanced computing.
Article describes presentation to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology the report of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine that calls for rapidly assembling public, private and university partnerships to carry out plans for an electricity-generating pilot plant.
Researchers at PPPL have made simple changes to equations that model the movement of heat in plasma. The changes improve insights that could help engineers avoid the conditions that could lead to heat loss in future fusion facilities.
PPPL and Princeton University demonstrate a novel technique for overcoming a barrier to the application of stronger-than-steel graphene for a vast array of industrial and scientific uses.
A process important to black holes and supernovas has for the first time been demonstrated in a laboratory at PPPL.
Emily A. Carter, former dean of the Princeton University School of Engineering and Applied Science, and most recently executive vice chancellor and provost at UCLA, has been named Senior Strategic Advisor for Sustainability Science at PPPL.
Theoretical and computational physicist Greg Hammett, a leader in advancing understanding of the complex turbulence that controls the performance of fusion plasmas and a dedicated educator, has been named a 2021 Distinguished Scientist Fellow by the DOE’s Office of Science.
The two awards will enable physicists to use lasers to reproduce high-energy astrophysical plasmas under extreme conditions to probe processes such as space storms that can disrupt cell phone service.
World-class expertise in the study of plasma — the hot, charged state of matter composed of free electrons and atomic nuclei, or ions, that makes up 99 percent of the visible universe — has won frontier science projects for three physicists at PPPL.
Collaboration led by PPPL has identified a chemical pathway to an innovative nanomaterial that could lead to large-scale production for applications ranging from spacesuits to military vehicles.
Summer interns working for PPPL did hands-on research from their computers in their bedrooms or on their dining room tables all over the U.S. They worked closely with PPPL physicists and engineers on research aimed at understanding ionized gases called plasmas.
A quantum diamond sensor that can produce magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of single molecules will be developed by a collaborative venture led by PPPL.
Results of a heat-confinement experiment on the twisty magnetic Wendelstein 7-X stellarator in Germany could enable devices based on the W7-X design to lead to a practical fusion reactor.
Researchers at PPPL have used supercomputers and a state-of-the-art computer code to simulate plasma in fusion devices under a wider range of conditions than ever before.
Scientists at PPPL have transferred a technique from one realm of plasma physics to another to enable the more efficient design of powerful magnets for doughnut-shaped fusion facilities known as tokamaks.
The virtual ninth annual global gathering presented leading experimental and theoretical methods for avoiding or mitigating the greatest challenge to doughnut-shaped tokamak fusion devices.
