Lawmaker observes experiments under way at campus facility
Tests on a machine that mimics a planet’s magnetic field show that it may offer an ‘alternative path’ to taming nuclear fusion for power generation.
Prof. Miklos Porkolab will receive the Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics on November 4, during a meeting of the American Physical Society - Division of Plasma Physics.
The Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) has partnered with the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the University of California, Berkeley to create a new center for the study of Plasma Surface Interactions (PSI).
