Learn More: http://go.usa.gov/KYVW • At the Energy Department's Princeton Plasma Physics Lab, scientists are trying to accomplish what was once considered the realm of science fiction: create a star on Earth. • • The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) is a magnetic fusion device that is used to study the physics principles of spherically shaped plasmas -- hot ionized gases in which, under the right conditions, nuclear fusion will occur. Fusion is the energy source of the sun and all of the stars. • Not just limited to theoretical work, the NSTX is enabling cutting-edge research to develop fusion as a future energy source. • --- • Subscribe to Energy for regular content: http://goo.gl/Ga5lP • Like Energy on Facebook: / energygov • Follow Energy on Twitter: / energy
