What do nuclear tests in space, fusion energy, and directed energy systems all have in common?

Plasma physics.

For the past 60 years, scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory have been studying how plasma behaves, from the Earth’s ionosphere to high-energy laboratory experiments.

Their work has helped shape technologies that support communications, materials science, and national defense.
