PPPL

A new 10-year project agreement between @ENERGY and @PlasmaphysikIPP paves the way for partnerships between the U.S. and Europe for research enabling the fusion energy systems of the future that will bring electricity to the power grid. #FusionEnergyWeek bit.ly/3PhyCjE

Join us for a special #FusionEnergyWeek edition of the #AI4Fusion virtual colloquium with Cristina Rea of @MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center. Join the conversation online from 4-5 p.m. ET on Wednesday, May 6: bit.ly/41WJyGi

“Apprenticeships expand workforce training in our state,” said @GovSherrillNJ, at a ceremony celebrating the latest grads of PPPL’s @USDOL-registered apprenticeship program in fusion energy and engineering. See how the program is expanding nationwide: bit.ly/3XWqFB1

Today NJDOL joined @GovSherrillNJ, @AndrewZwicker, @USDOL, @NJCommColleges and more partners at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory to honor a remarkable group of apprentice graduates and officially kick off Apprenticeship Week. Read more: nj.gov/labor/lwdhome/…

In celebration of #FusionEnergyWeek, get out and enjoy some sunshine with the @PPPLab on a public hike at the Plainsboro Preserve. PPPL staff will have science displays and demonstrations along with two guided hikes along the Orange Trail. More info at fusionenergyweek.org.

Get ready for #AI4Fusion with Varchas Gopalaswamy of @UofR, who will discuss how machine learning and AI is advancing inertial fusion, a potential approach to building a commercial fusion power plant using fusion fuel and lasers. April 22, 4-5 p.m. ET: bit.ly/41o0Pba

Join us for the next #AI4Fusion Colloquium with Varchas Gopalaswamy of @UofR, who will discuss how machine learning and AI is advancing inertial fusion, a potential approach to building a commercial fusion power plant using fusion fuel and lasers. bit.ly/41o0Pba

Today's the day! Watch PPPL's Andrew "Tasman" Powis at 4 p.m. ET on Wed., April 15 as he shares about his research alongside early-career scientists from 17 @ENERGY national labs at the #NationalLabSLAM. bit.ly/3QJnwAV #NLSLAM26

On #WorldQuantumDay see how the Quantum Diamond Laboratory at PPPL with @Princeton is using plasma — the fourth state of matter — to study and refine the processes used to create high-quality diamond material for quantum information science applications. bit.ly/4dLzEOY

⏱️ 3 minutes. 💡 Big ideas. 🏆 One slide. On April 15, researchers from 17 @ENERGY national labs take the stage at the #NationalLabSLAM to translate complex science into compelling presentations. Be sure to cheer on PPPL's Andrew "Tasman" Powis! bit.ly/3QJnwAV

A new international project led by PPPL will add powerful new X‑ray systems to fusion experiments in France and Japan, along with a multi‑energy camera system in France, to make key measurements and help guide the design of future fusion systems. ⚛️ bit.ly/4t0li1N

Following @NASA's @NASAArtemis II mission? PPPL's Fatima Ebrahimi explains how a new type of rocket thruster can use plasma, the electrically charged fourth state of matter, for spacecraft propulsion to move within Earth’s orbit and reach other places within our solar system.

After 27 years of operations, Japan’s Large Helical Device (LHD) has completed its final experimental campaign, and PPPL is proud to have been part of this remarkable journey. Learn more about LHD and the Lab's contributions. bit.ly/3PBl1n7

Did you miss our #ScienceOnSaturday lecture series this winter ❄️? Spring into spring 🌷 and watch lectures from 2026 with experts from PPPL, @Princeton and @RutgersU with our YouTube playlist. ▶️ bit.ly/3N24M1L

The Lab communicates with a range of stakeholders. To continue to inspire, engage and connect across a variety of fields, we recognize the importance of reaching out and checking in. Share your thoughts & take the PPPL communications survey ➡️ bit.ly/4uALTnh by April 30.

"Safety is my life." In this #WeAreTheLab profile from @PPPLab, one of our counterparts Joy Fleming talks about her passion for worker health and safety in the field of plasma physics and accelerator science. pppl.gov/joy-fleming

Researchers at @PPPLab are using AI to speed up the deployment of fusion power by solving key challenges, like simulating the movement of heat throughout the plasma as a whole or tailoring the behavior of fusion plasma in real time. bit.ly/4s9Ivht

Through continuous innovation, PPPL remains a force in developing critical fusion computer programs that model the behavior of the fourth state of matter known as plasma. See how this expertise addresses key challenges for commercializing fusion energy. bit.ly/4s9Ivht

This week, join Derek Sutherland & Sam Frank from @RealtaFusion to learn about how they are working to develop the axisymmetric magnetic mirror concept as a path toward a fusion power plant at the next #AI4Fusion talk on Wed., March 18 at 4 p.m. ET. ➡️ bit.ly/3MZbeGF
