Every year, the American Physical Society's Division of Plasma Physics (APS-DPP) highlights high-impact and transformational research as part of their annual meeting on a variety of topics in plasma physics. The research team led by Prof. Romero-Talamás is investigating a new type of fusion energy reactor with the Centrifugal Mirror Fusion Experiment, which aims to achieve sustained temperatures exceeding 10 million degrees Fahrenheit. The research is a collaboration between UMBC and the University of Maryland, College Park.
