Physicist Luis Delgado-Aparicio has won an Early Career Research Program award to develop tools aimed at eliminating impurities in plasmas that can halt or slow down fusion reactions.

NASA will launch a rocket containing a synthetic muscle experiment on April 13.

Princeton and General Atomics researchers make breakthrough in understanding how to overcome obstacle to controlled fusion reactions.

Article describes experiments showing that 3-D printed parts work well for laboratory use.

The US Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has received some $4.3 million of DOE Office of Science funding, over three years, to develop an increased understanding of the role of plasma in the synthesis of nanoparticles. Such particles, which are measured in billionths of a meter, are prized for their use in everything from golf clubs and swimwear to microchips, paints and pharmaceutical products. They also have potentially wide-ranging applications in the development of new energy technologies.

Researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and the US Department of Agriculture have developed a novel technique and device for rapidly pasteurizing eggs in the shell without damaging the delicate egg white. The process could lead to a sharp reduction in illnesses caused by egg-borne salmonella bacteria, a widespread public health concern.
