Producing fusion energy requires heating plasma to more than one hundred million degrees and confining it stably with strong ...

Plasma has long been treated as an exotic laboratory curiosity, yet a new world-first result is forcing scientists to look at ...

Now, a team at Japan’s National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has cracked the code, discovering that plasma turbulence behaves less like a slow-moving fluid and more like an American football ...

When a gas is highly energized, its electrons get torn from the parent atoms, resulting in a plasma—the oft-forgotten fourth ...

From Curiosity to Career Every great engineer starts with one question: How does this work? For Sergey Macheret, that question ...

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 ...

Terahertz (THz) radiation, situated between the microwave and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, has emerged as a pivotal tool in plasma physics research. The generation of intense, ...

Physicists used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The journal PNAS published the findings by experimental and ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), roughly 4 miles out from campus, is a national lab run by the Department of Energy and yet remains a relatively elusive branch of Princeton’s research ...

MELVILLE, NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2022 — AIP Publishing has selected Ian H. Hutchinson, a professor of nuclear science and engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as the recipient of its 2022 ...

In the ever-expanding arena of large-display technology, is plasma here to stay? “Plasma displays, I think, are a very awkward technology,” James Jaskie, chief scientist at Motorola’s Microelectronics ...

Five hundred years ago, the Aztec civilization in today’s Mexico believed that the sun and all its power was sustained by blood from human sacrifice. Today, we know that the sun, along with all other ...
