In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have performed the first global simulations of monster shocks ...

Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific ...

Low-temperature plasmas are intrinsically non-equilibrium systems in which electromagnetic fields, particle transport, and thermodynamic processes interact ...

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 ...

The development of current drive techniques in plasma physics has advanced significantly over recent years, offering promising routes for non-inductive current generation in both experimental and ...

The SMART tokamak - an experimental fusion device designed, built and operated by the Plasma Science and Fusion Technology Laboratory of the University of Seville, Spain - has generated its first ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Developed in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics specifically for the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, Thales's TH1507U gyrotron has achieved a significant milestone by reaching ...

Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory found a way to make plasma heating more efficient for fusion. By slightly angling a Faraday screen near the plasma antenna, they stopped unwanted ...
