The lab opens the way to fusion, the ultimate energy source, through plasma physics and computation.
AboutAbout the lab
Opening the way to fusion with plasma physics.
The Electromagnetic Energy Lab studies fusion energy, regarded as one of humanity's ultimate energy sources.
The lab teaches the physics of plasma, the fourth state of matter, and carries out research and development in physics, systems science, and computational science aimed at making the use of fusion energy a reality.
In July 2026, Professor Shinya Maeyama joined the lab.
Key terms
- Nuclear fusion
- A reaction in which light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy
- Plasma
- A state in which the atoms and molecules of a gas separate into electrons and ions that move around freely; the fourth state of matter
- Turbulence
- A state in which a flow is finely and irregularly disordered; it affects how heat and particles escape from plasma

*Illustrative imageUnraveling turbulence in plasma
Prof. Maeyama has worked on plasma theory, turbulence physics, numerical algorithms, high-performance computing, and modeling with data science, centered on turbulence in plasma confined by magnetic fields.
*Illustrative imageA new instability that disrupts confinement
Using linear theory and numerical analysis, the lab showed that in magnetically confined fusion plasmas with steep temperature gradients, a new instability appears in which two separate types of waves couple.
