The discovery of the new antihypernucleus could help scientists better understand the state of the universe just a millionth ...

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 ...

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.

It also plays a major role in plasma physics, especially as it pertains to nuclear fusion. In the case of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) the rapidly laser-heated pellet of deuterium-tritium ...

However, such accelerators are massive and considerably expensive. To overcome these limitations, scientists have been ...

Laser-plasma accelerators can accelerate particles over distances that are up to 1,000 times shorter than those required by ...

Scientists have discovered key conditions needed for a stellar black hole to create plasma jets. Their findings show that when superheated gas material experiences a rapid shrinkage towards the black ...

Fusion technologies are rapidly moving up the performance curve as world records tumble. The road to commercialisation is ...

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a key indicator ...

Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) have proposed a key indicator that could reveal the emergence of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) ...
