Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new method to predict plasma behavior in a nuclear reactor (tokamak) during a rampdown.

In a recent breakthrough that has left the scientific community astounded, researchers have managed to create a stable ring of plasma in a laboratory setting. This unprecedented achievement could have ...

Wave-particle interactions across the solar system can have a wide range of effects though they are caused by the same set of ...

Tokamaks are machines that are meant to hold and harness the power of the sun. These fusion machines use powerful magnets to ...

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory published a new paper last week, marking significant results from the lab’s artificial intelligence research. In the paper, published in Nature Communications, PPPL ...

Please join the Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology on Thursday, October 16 at 11am for the talk "Plasma Bubbles in the Earth's Ionosphere: Theory and Observations" by Giorgio Picanco of ...

At the Columbia Plasma Physics Lab, researchers are tackling one of the most pressing challenges in creating clean energy: making nuclear fusion a viable power source. Unlike nuclear fission—the type ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Resistive wall modes (RWMs) represent a class of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities that arise in plasmas confined by conducting structures which, owing to finite electrical resistivity, do not ...
