Because of this, researchers and governments are investing time and effort in streamlining the nuclear fusion energy ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have performed the first global simulations of monster shocks ...

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 ...

Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific ...

For all the problems AI is causing society, one of its greatest benefits lies in the world of science. A new study focused on the chaotic dynamics of dusty plasmas found that, when trained properly, ...

Researchers from South Korea have provided experimental proof of ‘multi-scale coupling’ in plasma. The study demonstrates how microscopic events can cause large-scale changes in this state of matter.

The exchange of energy between plasmas near astrophysical objects and magnetic fields produces some of the most extreme particle acceleration phenomena in the universe, such as black holes and neutron ...

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 ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), roughly 4 miles out from campus, is a national lab run by the Department of Energy and yet remains a relatively elusive branch of Princeton’s research ...

Space plasma physics examines the behaviour of ionised gases in planetary and astrophysical environments where electromagnetic forces dominate over collisional interactions. This field explores ...

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 ...

Avalanche Energy lands $29M in funding as plasma physics breakthroughs push compact fusion tech forward and spark momentum in clean energy.
