DOE/Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory PPPL physicists Shurik Yatom and Sophia Gershman conducting low temperature plasma research prior to the pandemic. (Photo by Elle Starkman/Office of Communications) From plasma technologies to fight the COVID-19 pandemic to heat-resistant Earth reentry vehicles, U.S. researchers are exploring innovative projects at the new Princeton Collaborative Low Temperature Plasma Research Facility (PCRF). The joint venture of the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and Princeton University provides access to world-class diagnostics, computational tools, and expertise in plasma physics for characterizing low temperature plasmas (LTP) a rapidly expanding source of innovation in fields ranging from electronics to health care to space exploration. ....
DOE/Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Hong Qin and Ahmed Diallo. (Photos by Elle Starkman) Hong Qin and Ahmed Diallo, physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), received the Lab s outstanding research awards for 2020 for their work in plasma physics to push forward advancements in fusion energy. Qin received the Kaul Foundation Prize for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research and Technology Development for the recent development of structure-preserving algorithms for plasma physics. Diallo was named PPPL Distinguished Research Fellow for his groundbreaking studies of tokamak edge plasma dynamics and his development and utilization of novel plasma diagnostics. Each prize includes a $7,500 cash award. Steve Cowley, Laboratory director, presented the awards in a ceremony Dec. 18. ....

SPARC image courtesy of Commonwealth Fusion Systems. The U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is collaborating with private industry on cutting-edge fusion research aimed at achieving commercial fusion energy. This work, enabled through a public-private DOE grant program, supports efforts to develop high-performance fusion grade plasmas. In one such project PPPL is working in coordination with MIT s Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) and Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a start-up spun out of MIT that is developing a tokamak fusion device called SPARC. ....

(University of Central Florida/National Science Foundation) The legendary radio telescope at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico collapsed on Dec. 1, sending shock waves throughout the astronomy and astrophysics communities. The telescope, the world s most powerful radar that was used by scientists for almost six decades to send beams to and receive signals from outer space to elucidate the ways of the universe, also is cemented in the history of the U.S. Department of Energy s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). It was at Arecibo in 1974 that Russell Hulse, a University of Massachusetts graduate student, along with his advisor, James Taylor, discovered the first binary pulsar - a pulsar comprised of two stars in very close proximity that rotate around each other. Hulse was a physicist at PPPL from 1977 to 2007 and Taylor became a Princeton p ....
