The U.S. Department of Energy has selected the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory to receive two prestigious Microelectronics Science Research Center. The DOE program leading to these awards originated from the CHIPS and Science Act. Yevgeny Raitses will lead efforts to incorporate 2D materials into next-generation semiconductors, while Alastair Stacey will research diamond materials for sensors that need to work in harsh environments. These awards underscore PPPL’s expertise in plasma, which is a key part of making microelectronics and the highest quality, lab-grown diamond.

A new generation of microelectronics research begins at PNNL.

Scientists have performed computer simulations confirming a technique that prevents the production of unhelpful electromagnetic waves, boosting the heat put into fusion plasma.

Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico have for the first time demonstrated a practical way to detect these atom loss for neutral atom quantum computers.

Jefferson Lab announces its newest slate of projects to receive Laboratory Directed Research & Development (LDRD) program funding for 2025. In its 12th year, the LDRD program will split $3 million among 13 different projects.
