Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific understanding of how stars, nuclear detonations and fusion energy work. For ...

Avalanche Energy lands $29M in funding as plasma physics breakthroughs push compact fusion tech forward and spark momentum in clean energy.

Plasma mirrors capable of withstanding the intensity of powerful lasers are being designed through an emerging machine ...

Reversed field pinch (RFP) plasma physics is a distinctive branch of magnetic confinement research that explores self-organised plasma equilibria in which the toroidal magnetic field reverses in the ...

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, ...

Electron beam generated plasmas constitute a refined method for producing ionised gases, achieved by directing a high-energy electron beam into a neutral gas. The non-equilibrium ionisation caused by ...

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 ...

In a groundbreaking initiative, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has introduced a new computing platform called STELLAR-AI, which stands for Simulation, Technology, and Experiment ...

Russell Kulsrud, Princeton professor of astrophysical sciences, emeritus, died on Sept. 23 at the age of 97. “Russell was one of the people that established the reputation of Princeton Plasma Physics ...

Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN. Although black holes are famous ...
