Date Time Team led by PPPL physicist wins major supercomputer time to help develop fusion energy Multi-institutional researchers led by physicist C.S. Chang of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have been granted millions of supercomputer node-hours to investigate issues crucial to the success of ITER, the international tokamak under construction in France to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion power. The two-year award from the DOE’s Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE), selected in competition with sc...
