Congratulations to PPPL's Laura Berzak Hopkins on being named a 2025 American Physical Society Fellow. She is recognized for advancements in inertial confinement fusion and for exceptional leadership in controlled fusion and weapons science.

New equipment alert - an electron cyclotron wave launcher, built by @PPPLab, that injects microwaves into specific plasma locations for efficient heating & current drive. This component moves us closer to completing our system that will achieve the most EC power ever injected!

New #AI offers a better view inside fusion energy systems and could help ensure future commercial fusion systems are reliable. PPPL, @Princeton, @CAU_News, @Columbia & @SeoulNatUni scientists used data from @d3dfusion.

From a lecture at @PPPLab on nuclear science & tech, to speaking about fusion at @CUSEAS, to promoting radiation & nuclear medicine to address global health challenges such as cancer & infectious diseases — @iaeaorg DDG Najat Mokhtar visited 🇺🇸 to highlight the work of IAEA NA.

Recreating the cosmic wobble that forms planets and black holes has landed a team of researchers from @PPPL and @Princeton the 2025 John Dawson Award from @APSphysics. Congrats to the team for bringing the cosmos down to Earth!

Are you fueling up for #NationalCoffeeDay? Did you know that plasma — the electrically charged fourth state of matter — is the fuel for fusion? Get a double-shot of knowledge on how plasma could transform our energy future. ⬇️

Two teams at @PPPLab will benefit from @ENERGY funding for Fusion Innovation Research Engine (FIRE) collaboratives, aiming to bridge the DOE Fusion Energy Sciences program’s basic science research and growing fusion industries: https://t.co/Bd6o2J2dSH

Nine experts from @Princeton, @TCNJ, @UofMaryland and @Yale have joined the Lab's associated faculty program helping expand PPPL's capabilities to deliver transformative science and groundbreaking innovation. ⬇️

Ammonia is used in fertilizer and many industrial processes. It is also seen as a promising way to store and transport energy, as it is safer and easier to handle ammonia than hydrogen gas. Using plasma, the fourth state of matter, scientists at @PPPLab have created a material

How do fusion systems work? And what are the different configurations? Scientific American (@SciAm) dives into the process of fusion and explains the benefits of each kind of fusion device, including the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade at PPPL.

The U.S. and U.K. are strengthening fusion energy collaboration. ⚡PPPL and @UKAEAofficial have long partnered on workforce, diagnostics and fusion machine science and engineering, sharing critical knowledge to accelerate the path to fusion energy.

Twinning of a different sort! As #AI speeds up the path to fusion energy, PPPL's Michael Churchill (@ChurchillMic) explains what a digital twin is and how they are helping shorten the timescale to bring fusion energy to the power grid. ⚡

.@ENERGY has announced $128 million for the Fusion Innovative Research Engine (FIRE) collaboratives, which aim to bridge basic science research programs and the growing fusion industry. Two projects led by PPPL, and one involving the Lab, received funding.

The @ENERGY Innovation Network for Fusion Energy (INFUSE) awards bridge private fusion companies and national laboratories and universities, accelerating research to bring fusion energy to the world. 🌎 Three of the 20 awards involve PPPL.

.@ENERGY has announced $134 million for two programs focused on fusion technology and innovation. PPPL has won five awards, three with Innovation Network for Fusion Energy (INFUSE) and two with the Fusion Innovative Research Engine (FIRE) collaboratives.
