  • This illuminated sample contains millions of lab-grown diamonds. One of the Microelectronics Science Research Center projects led by PPPL will look at the extreme properties of diamond material and how it can be used to make sensors and electronics that can handle harsh environments.

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has been selected to lead two significant projects under the CHIPS and Science Act, aimed at advancing U.S. technology and science. The first project, funded with $1.5 million, focuses on developing a new type of high-temperature superconducting magnet for fusion energy applications, potentially revolutionizing energy production by making fusion power more efficient and cost-effective. The second project, with a $1.2 million grant, involves creating a high-power microwave source for use in fusion reactors, which could enhance the control and stability of plasma in fusion experiments. These initiatives not only bolster PPPL's role in fusion research but also contribute to national goals of technological innovation and energy security.
