NASA scientists are reshaping the basic understanding of a type of wave in space known as a kinetic Alfvén wave. When NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale -- or MMS -- mission was launched, the scientists ...

Quantum field theories are powerful tools for particle physics and condensed matter physics but are rarely used in plasma physics. However, in warm-dense regimes, where matter is partially ionized and ...

There are several mechanisms that affect a gas when using discharge plasma to initiate combustion or to stabilize a flame. There are two thermal mechanisms—the homogeneous and inhomogeneous heating of ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...

Microscopic turbulence in plasma can trigger macroscopic structural changes. In complex physical systems, such cross-scale interactions—between different spatial and temporal scales—are known as ...

Please see the full solicitation for complete information about the funding opportunity. Below is a summary assembled by the Research & Innovation Office (RIO). The objective of this program is to ...

For all the problems AI is causing society, one of its greatest benefits lies in the world of science. A new study focused on the chaotic dynamics of dusty plasmas found that, when trained properly, ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The work is one of the relatively few instances of using AI ...

Elizabeth Paul, a groundbreaking physicist who is a 2015 alumna and a 2020 Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), has won ...
