Physicists discover that lithium oxide on tokamak walls can improve plasma performance Lithium compounds improve plasma performance in fusion devices just as well as pure lithium does, a team of physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has found.

Details of the Tokamak bioshield have at last become easier for the non-specialist to "see."
A close-up look at the superconducting conductor that lies beneath the massive cases of ITER Toroidal Field coils.
In ITER, six technological solutions for tritium breeding—in the form of test blanket modules plus associated ancillary systems—will be operated and tested for the first time.
ANU is poised to provide China with its first stellarator device, which enables experimental research on magnetically confined plasma that is vital for developing fusion energy.
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory managed by Princeton University.
