The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was awarded a $750,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop pulsed power driven turbulent reconnection platforms under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). MIT will use the three-year award, issued on September 1, 2021, to advance understanding of major problems in plasma physics through the creation of experimental platforms utilizing pulsed power techniques to generate turbulent magnetic reconnection in the laboratory. The NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports fundamental research and education to strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise and increase knowledge in core areas of mathematics and the physical sciences.
