Press Releases

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced awards for eight projects with private industry that will allow for collaboration with DOE national laboratories on overcoming challenges in fusion energy development.

Research will advance fundamental understanding of basic and low-temperature plasmas

The Department of Energy’s Office of Science (SC) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced $9.35 million for 21 research projects in High-Energy Density Laboratory Plasmas (HEDLP).

The Department of Energy (DOE) today awarded $2.1 million across 9 collaborative projects between DOE national laboratories and private industry aimed at overcoming challenges in fusion energy development.

Projects span studies of turbulence, ion-heat transport, and equilibrium stability to improve confinement of fusion plasmas.

Projects span quantum computing for fusion plasma science, quantum behavior at high-energy-densities, and fusion-relevant quantum sensing

DOE Office of Science and NNSA jointly announce plan to provide up to $9 million for work related to High-Energy Density Laboratory Plasmas

Funding will support the exploration of the behavior of matter at extreme conditions.

Research Will Be Led by DOE National Laboratories

DOE will provide $4.2 million to support research by U.S. scientists at two major fusion energy facilities located in Germany and Japan.
