Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Inc. founded in 1974, is a high-technology research, consulting and communication corporation specializing in applications of plasma physics, including fusion power and high-power X-ray sources for infrastructure inspection. We also have a unique approach to desalination and provide consulting and communications services in many high-technology areas in both the physical and biological sciences.

Our lead project is the development of a dense plasma focus (DPF) fusion reactor, using proton-boron (pB11) fuel, an approach we call "Focus Fusion". This work, which was partially funded by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is aimed at producing an extremely economical, compact, environmentally safe and essentially inexhaustible source of energy that could be fifty to a hundred times cheaper than existing sources. It has already achieved major experimental milestones, including the achievement of plasma confinement at energies equivalent to two billion degrees, high enough to fuse hydrogen and boron.

Discover Magazine Coverage
The June issue of Discover magazine has a very favorable, if brief, article on Focus Fusion in their Ideas section.  This is certainly the broadest coverage we have had in the mass media and will helpfully open up new opportunities. Click here to see the full article.
