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.
