University of Michigan Plasma Physics Laboratory

The University of Michigan Plasma Physics Laboratory is a research facility that studies plasma—the fourth state of matter, similar to gases but with charged particles. They investigate fundamental physics questions and develop advanced technologies related to plasma, such as those used in fusion energy, space science, and industry. The lab combines theoretical work, computer simulations, and experiments to understand plasma behavior, aiming to contribute to energy solutions and scientific knowledge. It serves as a hub for both education and innovative research, fostering collaboration among scientists, students, and industry partners.
