In the Magnetic Confinement applet, the aim is to keep the plasma within the tokamak cross-section by switching magnets on and off. Additional applets appear in tutorials illustrating basic principles ...

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 ...

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 new and powerful particle detector just passed a critical test in its goal to decipher the ingredients of the early ...

Scientists had theorized about the possibility of a plasma physics phenomenon, but their AI system discovered the real thing.

The findings came from the spacecraft Juno. The researchers say this will create a better understanding of Jupiter and the ...

Mr. Dawson first applied the technique to simulate the physics phenomena of plasma, a gaseous collection of free-moving electrons and ions that makes up 99 percent of the visible universe.

Research offers new insights into protecting Earth from harmful solar radiation. A team at the Twin Cities has identified and ...

Scientists had theorized about the possibility of a plasma physics phenomenon, but their AI system discovered the real thing.

Scientists pursuing magnetically-confined nuclear fusion as a clean energy source grapple with the "core-edge challenge," the ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) just celebrated a milestone in its research on fusion energy. After nearly four years of round-the-clock work by 250 people, the PPPL completed a $94 ...
