From a 50,000-degree Celsius plasma you can manipulate from your living room to a new way of using airport screening technology, PPPL physicists are at the cutting edge of magnetic fusion and plasma science research. Many of them recently presented their research results at a gathering of 1,500 scientists at a national conference in Colorado.
PPPL physicists David Gates and Charles Skinner also were inducted as APS fellows, an honor bestowed on only one half of one percent of all American Physical Society members each year. http://www.pppl.gov/news/2013/10/two-pppl-physicists-elected-receive-prestigious-honor.
