A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

Researchers at Kyoto University have proposed a new physical model that explores how disturbances in the ionosphere may exert electrostatic forces within Earth's crust and potentially contribute to ...

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory plans to launch a new AI project, called STELLAR-AI, to lower costs and heighten efficiency for experiments. The program is anticipated to launch in 2027, and is ...

What if the future of clean energy is actually ancient? The Thunderstorm Generator uses plasmoid reactions, sacred geometry, and toroidal plasma physics to reduce engine emissions — reportedly ...

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...

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 ...

The state announced its 11th Strategic Innovation Center June 17. Boost plasma-focused startup creation and acceleration; Promote industry collaboration; and Commercialize groundbreaking technologies ...

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...

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