MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center

The MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) is a research facility dedicated to studying plasma physics and developing fusion energy, which has the potential to provide a clean and nearly limitless power source for the future. Plasma, the fourth state of matter, consists of charged particles and is found in stars, including the sun. Researchers at PSFC explore how to control plasma and achieve nuclear fusion, the process that powers stars, through experiments and advanced technology. Their work aims to advance our understanding of fusion energy, contributing to both scientific knowledge and practical energy solutions.
