Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

A plasma is what you get if you heat matter until it breaks apart into a gas of charged particles. It is, perhaps, the ultimate many-body system, as long-range interactions make possible countless ...

Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory found a way to make plasma heating more efficient for fusion. By slightly angling a Faraday screen near the plasma antenna, they stopped unwanted ...
