Introduction

Welcome! We are

SNU

PLARE

Plasma Laboratory for Advanced Research in Seoul National University.

Plasma

Normally there are three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Plasma, which belongs to neither of them, is usually called the 4th state of matter.

Fusion

Nuclear fusion is a process where the light atomic nuclei fuse at high temperatures, causing mass defect, and, by the mass-energy equivalence, generate energy.

Tokamak

Tokamak is a device to confine the plasma and realize fusion reaction.

Our Mottos

不積蹞步 無以至千里
不積小流 無以成江海

– <순자(荀子)> 권학(勸學)편
발걸음을 쌓지 않으면 천리 길에 이를 수 없고,
작은 물의 흐름이 모이지 않으면, 강과 바다가 이루어 지지 않는다.
