Plasma, the electrically charged state of matter that lights up stars and neon signs, has just revealed a subtle effect that ...
Producing fusion energy requires heating plasma to more than one hundred million degrees and confining it stably with strong ...
Just as in-flight turbulence—irregular disruptions in the airflow—results in a bumpy plane ride, plasma turbulence transports ...

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 tragic turn of events, the scientific community mourns the loss of Nuno Loureiro, a distinguished professor and director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), who passed away at the ...
Developed by researchers from the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU), and Emmi AI, the ...
When the plasma physics community gathers for its biggest annual event, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) shows up in force. This year's ...
Most of the energy from the sun and other stars comes from a chain of nuclear fusion reactions. The end of this chain is marked by the fusion of protons with beryllium-7 to form boron-8. This process ...
