His contribution to
plasma physics was recognized by the award of the Alfven Prize of the European Physical Society.
To observe reconnection, Masaaki Yamada and his colleagues at the Princeton
Plasma Physics Laboratory in New Jersey are slamming together pairs of doughnut-shaped plasma clouds known as spheromaks.
He had an engaging personality and will be sorely missed by his colleagues in the world's
plasma physics and fusion communities.
His work in
plasma physics and fusion began in 1958 when he moved to the
plasma physics department recently organized by Academician K.

Plasma Physics Meeting.
In these proceedings of the June 2005 conference, contributors present their work in
plasma physics, dusty plasmas, plasma fusion, astrophysics, microelectronics and nanotechnology, including transport processes, Coulomb crystal and liquid formation, void formation, self-excited instabilities, wave propagation, nonlinear phenomena and the nucleation and growth of dust particles in these plasmas.
last December, using a magnetically confined mixture or equal parts deuterium and tritium, researchers at the Princeton University
Plasma Physics laboratory and their collaborators achieve record outputs of fusion power at the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) (SN: 1/1/94, p.12).
The Max Planck Society is strengthening its commitment to the development of a sustainable energy supply and has joined forces with Princeton University to establish the Max Planck Princeton Research Centre for
Plasma Physics.
Stacey (nuclear engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology) presents both the fundamental theories and methodologies of fusion
plasma physics and introduces topics of current research.
Taking another step along the long road to extracting energy from the fusion of atomic nuclei, researchers at the Princeton University
Plasma Physics Laboratory last month achieved record levels of controlled fusion power.
