Columbia Fusion Research Center

The Columbia Stellarator eXperiment (CSX) is a superconducting, quasi-symmetric stellarator. It is being built to test novel stellarator geometries and their intersection with high-temperature superconducting magnet technologies. It is being repurposed from the Columbia Non-neutral Torus (CNT).

The Columbia University Tokamak for Education (CUTE) is a flexible low-aspect ratio tokamak. Previously HIT-II at the University of Washington, it is now being refurbished for use in education focused tokamak research

The collisionless terrella experiment is a device to understand the basic principles of collisionless transport of energetic plasma in planetary magnetospheres and to identify mechanisms causing charged particle energization and flux modulations.

HBT-EP is an experiment for the investigation of wall-stabilization. It investigates the combined use of a close-fitting conducting wall and modular saddle coils for the purpose of significantly extending the tokamak beta limit

The NSF Negative Triangularity Tokamak (NSF NTT) project, developed in collaboration with Columbia Engineering, aimed to advance through all stages of a negative triangularity tokamak design for testing NT plasmas and plasma control solutions. The project reached full pre-conceptual design before being put on hold.
