Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

In the blink of an eye, the unruly, superheated plasma that drives a fusion reaction can lose its stability and escape the strong magnetic fields confining it within the donut-shaped fusion reactor.

New fusion simulations of the inside of a tokamak reveal the ideal spot for a 'cave' with flowing liquid lithium is near the bottom by the center stack, as the evaporating metal particles should land ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...

For the first time, scientists have 'photographed' a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into spaghetti-like filaments. A new study, published in Physical Review Letters, ...

Complex plasmas, including dusty plasmas, represent an enthralling state of matter where micron‐sized particles are immersed within an ionised gas. In these systems, the charged microparticles ...

Researchers provide experimental data about how radiation travels through dense plasmas. Their data will improve plasma models, which allow scientists to better understand the evolution of stars and ...

In a peer-reviewed study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), physicists at Emory University have built a custom artificial intelligence system that did more than ...

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 ...
