When the plasma physics community gathers for its biggest annual event, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) shows up in force. This year's ...

Pulsars are some of the most reliable metronomes in the universe, and scientists are now using their flickering radio beams to keep time across the galaxy and sharpen the search for intelligent life.

Just as in-flight turbulence—irregular disruptions in the airflow—results in a bumpy plane ride, plasma turbulence transports ...

Producing fusion energy requires heating plasma to more than one hundred million degrees and confining it stably with strong magnetic fields. However, plasma naturally develops fluctuations known as ...

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule. This ...

A team of scientists from the UK Atomic Energy Authority, the Johannes Kepler University Linz, and Emmi AI, have developed an artificial intelligence tool - named GyroSwin - which can create ...

Plasma, the electrically charged state of matter that lights up stars and neon signs, has just revealed a subtle effect that ...

A newborn star 15,000 light-years from Earth is fascinating astronomers with its dual blasts of superheated plasma jets. The ...

Producing fusion energy requires heating plasma to more than one hundred million degrees and confining it stably with strong magnetic fields. However, plasma naturally develops fluctuations known as ...

The development of laser–plasma accelerators began in the early 1980s, inspired by the pioneering work of Tajima and Dawson 1. Key to their operation is the fact that unlike the superconducting ...
