Hampton University Physics Department and the StarLite Project
Hampton University is setting the scientific world ablaze with an electrifying breakthrough in fusion research, marking a historic leap for HBCUs and the future of clean energy. With the launch of the STAR_Lite project, Hampton is making history as the only HBCU—and one of the few universities globally—leading hands-on stellarator fusion research, positioning itself as a powerhouse in the next era of physics and energy innovation. While Hampton has been involved in nuclear fusion since the 1980s, the institution’s impact will expand, empowered by a recent $1.4 million grant from the Department of Energy secured by Hampton’s very own Dr. Shibrabrat Naik.
