Article describes in situ observation of plasma arc nanosynthesis that could lead to improved production of nanoparticles.

Scientists have found that lithium powder can eliminate instabilities known as edge-localized modes (ELMs) when used to coat a tungsten plasma-facing component called the 'divertor.'

Article describes method for preventing short circuits in plasma devices.

Article describes development of a deep learning neural network to predict disruptions on fusion plasmas.

Stewart Prager, physicist and long-time fusion energy scientist who was director of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) from 2009 to 2016, has been honored with a 2017 Distinguished Career Award from Fusion Power Associates (FPA). Prager, a leading contributor to the advancement of plasma physics and fusion science, received the award at the 38th annual meeting of FPA held Dec. 6-7 in Washington, D.C. The association provides students, media and the public with information about the status of fusion development and other applications of plasma science.

Article describes award of more than 210 million supercomputer core hours to study fusion plasmas and the cosmos.

Scientists from the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have built and delivered a high-resolution X-ray spectrometer for the largest and most powerful laser facility in the world.

Article describes 2017 Kaul Prize and Distinguished Engineering Fellow awards.

A team of researchers led by PPPL physicist Will Fox recently used lasers to create conditions that mimic astrophysical behavior. The laboratory technique enables the study of outer-space-like plasma in a controlled and reproducible environment.

This article describes an international collaboration that has improved vertical stability on KSTAR in Korea.
