What is Fusion

The animated video below, produced by PhD Comics, introduces the concept of plasma and magnetically confineed fusion. It also provides a tour of the NSTXU device housed at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab.







Virtual Tokamak

The Virtual Tokamak is based on real plasma physics equations.





Remote Experiments

Visit the sections below to explore different aspects of plasma physics and magnetically confined fusion.
