Princeton University Plasma Physics Lab

The Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is a research center dedicated to studying plasma—the hot, charged state of matter found in stars and fusion reactors. Its goal is to understand how to control nuclear fusion, the process that powers stars, as a potential clean and limitless energy source. Using advanced experiments and machine technology, PPPL investigates how to contain and sustain fusion reactions safely on Earth. The lab collaborates with scientists worldwide to develop new insights and innovations in plasma science, aiming to contribute to sustainable energy solutions for the future.
