Plasma Science and Fusion Center

The Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) is a research facility focused on understanding plasma—the super-hot, ionized state of matter—and developing nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun. Fusion aims to generate clean, abundant energy by merging atomic nuclei, offering a potential future energy source. The center conducts experiments and develops technology to achieve controlled fusion reactions safely and efficiently. It also investigates plasma phenomena relevant to energy production and other scientific fields, working toward practical fusion power plants that could provide sustainable energy for society.
