the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
IPPEX (Internet Plasma Physics Education Experience) is a project developed to allow students and teachers to participate remotely in scientific research at the nation's largest fusion energy laboratory. It introduces controlled fusion through the context of the tokamak reactor, a fusion confinement device operated at Princeton University. The web site includes simulations of plasma reactions and an interactive tutorial on the process of fusion. The data analysis exercises are appropriate for introductory physics learners.
