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 ...

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

His research focuses on space physics, plasma physics, turbulence theory and computational physics. He is an associate director of the Delaware Space Grant Consortium, coordinating student ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory is the U.S. national laboratory with the mission to develop the scientific foundation for the creation of fusion energy, the power source of the sun 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.

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

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have made a new discovery by observing and analyzing the first new ...
