MSU prof's fusion energy grant

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State University professor of physics and astronomy, Chuji Wang, is receiving a grant from the federal Department of Energy to study fusion energy science, which is widely considered by scientists to be one of nature’s most complex subjects. Wang’s proposal, “Optical trapping and manipulation of single particles for MDP,” received a 24-month, $214,000 grant, one of four DOE-funded programs currently in progress. Wang’s research is in collaboration with the Magnetized Dust Plasma Experimental (MDPX) facility at Auburn University. (Source: MSU 10/30/20) https://www.msstate.edu/newsroom/article/2020/10/msu-faculty-member-researching-fusion-energy-science-doe-grant
