America’s economy and security depend upon reliable sources of power. Over the next few decades, almost all of the power plants in the U.S. will need to be replaced, and America’s dependence on fossil fuels presents serious national security concerns.
When the ITER experimental fusion reactor begins operation in the 2020s, over 40 diagnostic tools will provide essential data to researchers seeking to understand plasma behavior and optimize fusion performance.
The DOE Office of Economic Impact and Diversity is highlighting 75 women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) from across the complex and Aliya Merali, a Program Leader in Science Ed
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has been named the 2012 Federal Partner of the Year for reducing its carbon footprint by cutting the amount of waste it sends to landfills.
Physicist Rajesh Maingi remembers nearly everything. Results of experiments he did 20 years ago play back instantly in his mind, as do his credit card and bank account numbers.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) in Japan have developed a rapid method for meeting a key challenge for fusion science.
The West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South team won the U.S. Department of Energy’s New Jersey Regional High School Science Bowl at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory on Feb. 23 in a dramatic up-to-the-finish line contest against the Bergen County team with a final score of 88 to 72.
Scientists participating in the worldwide effort to develop magnetic fusion energy for generating electricity gave progress reports to the 2013 annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston. Speaking were physicists George "Hutch" Neilson of the U.S.
Physicist John Schmidt, whose profound and wide-ranging contributions to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) made him a highly respected leader in the worldwide quest for fusion energy, died on February 13 following a brain hemorrhage. He was 72.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have launched a new effort to apply expertise in plasma to study and optimize the use of the hot, electrically charged gas as a tool for producing nanoparticles.
Superior separation of nuclear waste: This advanced centrifuge under development at PPPL can deliver faster, more efficient and more economical separation of nuclear waste than standard centrifuges permit.
By 7:50 a.m. on Saturday morning, cars were already lining up at PPPL’s security booth. By 8:45 a.m., all the donuts and bagels were gone and by 9 a.m., the Lab’s 280-seat auditorium had filled, sending visitors to pack the cafeteria.
The cool roof at PPPL was downright chilly when two representatives from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s NYC °CoolRoofs program came to visit the Laboratory recently. But the meeting itself was warm and could lead to a partnership between the city group, PPPL and Princeton.
Arturo Dominguez is a man who clearly has zeal for the mission of teaching young people -- and anyone else who will listen -- about the bright future of magnetic fusion.
Three teams led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have won major blocks of time on two of the world’s most powerful supercomputers.
