Reversed field pinch (RFP) plasma physics is a distinctive branch of magnetic confinement research that explores self-organised plasma equilibria in which the toroidal magnetic field reverses in the ...

Quantum field theories are powerful tools for particle physics and condensed matter physics but are rarely used in plasma physics. However, in warm-dense regimes, where matter is partially ionized and ...

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source ...

Resistive wall modes (RWMs) represent a class of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities that arise in plasmas confined by conducting structures which, owing to finite electrical resistivity, do not ...

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed ...

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory published a new paper last week, marking significant results from the lab’s artificial intelligence research. In the paper, published in Nature Communications, PPPL ...

Although the idea of containing a plasma within a magnetic field seems straightforward at first, plasmas are highly dynamic systems that will happily escape magnetic confinement if given half a chance ...

Elizabeth Paul, a groundbreaking physicist who is a 2015 alumna and a 2020 Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), has won ...

Researchers Ni Guohua and Associate Researcher Sun Hongmei from the Institute of Plasma Physics, together with Associate ...

Physicists have taken the Universe’s temperature, revealing the searing trillion-degree heat of the Big Bang’s first plasma.

Increasing the surface area when plasma and water interact could help scale up a technology that destroys contaminants such ...
