Ever wonder what happens at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL)? Join the Lab for a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most innovative spaces at its facility along Route 1 with a special screening of a new virtual toursseries and Q&A with tour stars during Fusion Energy Week.
Explore the science behind PPPL's primary fusion experiment, the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade (NSTX-U). Uncover how the Lab is using plasma (the fourth state of matter) to develop next generation microchips and quantum devices. See how it's helping usher in the workforce of the future and advancing science to protect our power grids, satellite networks and communications systems.
PPPL is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory managed by Princeton University. Sponsored by U.S. Fusion Energy, Fusion Energy Week runs May 5-9, 2025 and celebrates the science and technology that will make fusion the energy solution of tomorrow.
