changes in the topology of the field by breaking and reconnecting the magnetic field lines. This process occurs in (magnetohydrodynamic) "sawtooth" oscillations in tokamak plasmas, in sun spots, and ...

Renowned plasma scientist urges researchers and institutions to focus on scalable applications of plasma-based technologies to drive innovation in aerospace, energy, and industry. LAFAYETTE, IN / ...

In the quest for sustainable and limitless energy, fusion research has made significant strides, with the recent formation of stable plasma rings in laboratory settings marking a pivotal breakthrough.

For the first time, scientists have photographed a rare plasma instability, capturing high-energy electron beams forming into spaghetti-like filaments. This breakthrough, achieved by researchers at ...

Solid, liquid and gas: The three basic states of matter we know, but there’s a fourth that’s WAY more common than you might think. This week is all about plasma. * We’re not focusing on the kind you ...

3D spatial tomography estimates the 3D structure of a subject from images taken from multiple directions. On the other hand, newly developed phase-space tomography estimates the plasma phase-space ...

In a spacious room with towering ceilings, a gleaming device resembling a metal barrel the size of an SUV lies on its side, ready to perform some science. Known as the Facility for Laboratory ...

Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory found a way to make plasma heating more efficient for fusion. By slightly angling a Faraday screen near the plasma antenna, they stopped unwanted ...

Theoretical and simulation estimates of turbulent transport (high-dimensional data that depend on plasma conditions such as density, temperature, and magnetic field) are used as low-fidelity data, and ...

First plasma” has been achieved by the Sunbird exhaust test system, marking a major step toward a direct fusion drive ...
