Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC)

The Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) is a research institution focused on understanding plasma—the super-hot, ionized state of matter—and developing nuclear fusion as a sustainable energy source. Fusion, the process powering stars, involves merging atomic nuclei to release energy. PSFC conducts experiments, advances technology, and studies plasma behavior to achieve controlled fusion on Earth, aiming for a clean, abundant energy source that could significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels. It combines physics, engineering, and innovation to solve the challenges of harnessing fusion power safely and efficiently.
