When the plasma inside a fusion system starts to misbehave, it needs to be quickly cooled to prevent damage to the device.

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.

Like engineers who design high-performance Formula One race cars, scientists want to create high-performance plasmas in ...

Fusion energy, the process of fusing light atomic nuclei to generate energy, has long been considered the key to a clean and ...

Dozens of engineering staff and at least six theorists laid off in early February at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory ...

QUADCOIL is a groundbreaking computer code that simplifies the design of stellarator magnets, ensuring plasma shapes remain ...

The Sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. When two of these ejections collide ...

Liu’s research has centred mainly on plasma physics and nuclear fusion. In particular, he has focused on solving problems related to the physics of runaway electrons – a kind of energy leakage ...

Professor Claudia Ratti explains about quarks and gluons, including the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma, plus Quantum ...

This study reveals how optical vortex beams influence ionization, offering new insights for technology in imaging, particle ...
