PASADENA, Calif.–Applied physicists at the California Institute of Technology have devised a plasma experiment that shows how huge long, thin jets of material shoot out from exotic astrophysical ...

It turns out that containing the same process that powers the sun can be turbulent work. Even microscale eddies in fusion plasma experiments can cause performance degradation, according to a release ...

Craft reentry creates friction and pressure, which heats ions in the air surrounding the reentering spacecraft and creates a ...

A new approach to nuclear fusion is in development, offering a cleaner approach to energy production that could be more affordable too. U.S. researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory are looking ...

Plasma has long been treated as an exotic laboratory curiosity, yet a new world-first result is forcing scientists to look at this fiery state of matter as something far more familiar. By uncovering a ...

Plasma, the electrically charged state of matter that lights up stars and neon signs, has just revealed a subtle effect that had never been directly seen before, yet appears to be woven through much ...

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory plans to launch a new AI project, called STELLAR-AI, to lower costs and heighten ...

The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) has begun its 2024 plasma experiments, aiming to secure advanced plasma operation technologies. This year’s experiments will focus on developing ...
