Electron beam generated plasmas constitute a refined method for producing ionised gases, achieved by directing a high-energy electron beam into a neutral gas. The non-equilibrium ionisation caused by ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

The intricate dance of atoms fusing and releasing energy has fascinated scientists for decades. Now, human ingenuity and artificial intelligence are coming together at the U.S. Department of Energy’s ...

Ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) is a pivotal technique in plasma physics, especially within the domain of magnetic confinement fusion. By utilising radio frequency power in the ion cyclotron ...

A research group has achieved a new plasma confinement regime using small 3D magnetic perturbations that simultaneously ...

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 ...

Auburn University physics PhD student Jessica Eskew has been awarded a prestigious U.S. Department of Energy Office of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN. Although black holes are famous ...

New artificial intelligence models for plasma heating can do more than was previously thought possible, not only increasing the prediction speed 10 million times while preserving accuracy but also ...

We interrupt your daily programming for an exclusive statement from the sun, streaming from 93 million miles away. “Yo, Blue Hens. It’s me, your 4.5-billion-year-old neighbor, the one at the center of ...
