Plasma is usually introduced as the stuff of stars and fusion reactors, a searing soup of charged particles that has little ...

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

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

Five independent teams of researchers have reviewed the work and claims made by a group at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) who announced in December 2022 that they had achieved the first ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Large Helical Device (LHD) represents a forefront instrument in fusion research, utilising a superconducting helical configuration to generate and confine high-temperature deuterium plasmas. Its ...

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