Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is a research facility dedicated to understanding and developing fusion energy, which could provide a nearly limitless, clean energy source. It conducts advanced experiments and studies on plasmas—the super-hot, ionized gases needed for fusion reactions—using powerful machines like tokamaks. PPPL’s goal is to unlock sustainable fusion technology that mimics the energy-producing processes of the sun, aiming to solve current energy challenges and contribute to a cleaner, more reliable energy future.
