Blackett Laboratory sciences subjects rankings, and the department in particular ranks 11th in the world, and 3rd in the UK after Cambridge and Oxford, on the QS World University Rankings. Domestically, the department ranks 5th in the Complete University Guide's 2019 physics rankings. The laboratory has connections to many physicists who had studied or taught at the department: Blackett Laboratory The Blackett Laboratory (named after Patrick Blackett) is part of the Imperial College Faculty of Natural Sciences and has housed the Department of Physics at Imperial College London since its completion in 1961. The building is located on the corner of Prince
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory science, solar physics, chemistry, and manufacturing. In 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) completed the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) that makes it the most powerful experimental fusion facility, or tokamak, of its type in the world. Experiments will test the ability of the upgraded spherical facility to maintain a high-performance plasma under conditions of extreme heat and power. Results could strongly influence the design of future fusion reactors. In 1961 Gottlieb became the first director of the renamed Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
