Mapping the depths of plasma physics

MIT Assistant Professor Jack Hare studies plasma, a high-energy gas in which atomic nuclei and electrons roam around separately. Creating plasma in small quantities allows him to study how plasma behaves in the wider universe. His lab’s main instrument is a house-sized device called PUFFIN (the PUlser For Fundamental [Plasma Physics] INvestigations).
