Plasma has long been treated as an exotic laboratory curiosity, yet a new world-first result is forcing scientists to look at ...

When a gas is highly energized, its electrons get torn from the parent atoms, resulting in a plasma—the oft-forgotten fourth ...

National Geographic Explorer Paolo Verzone provides a rare peek inside a stellarator, an experiment that aims to give the world near-limitless clean energy.

Zap Energy’s FuZE-3 device has reached giga-pascal-level plasma pressures thanks to a novel design that independently tunes acceleration and compression. These early results suggest rapid progress ...

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 ...

Under control: plasma inside the Variable-Configuration Tokamak at EPFL. (Courtesy: Curdin Wüthrich/SPC/EPFL) A collaboration of physicists and computer scientists has shown that artificial ...

Plasma Physics: From Black Holes to Radio Reception Plasma plays a big role from the ionosphere to black holes. Stanford physicist Roger Blandford explains plasma and its connection to black holes in ...

A plasma is what you get if you heat matter until it breaks apart into a gas of charged particles. It is, perhaps, the ultimate many-body system, as long-range interactions make possible countless ...

The Applied Physics Laboratory, led by Dr. D. Dobrynin, was formed in 2011, and is focused on the fundamental and applied research of “cold” atmospheric pressure plasmas. Primary research areas ...

MELVILLE, NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2022 — AIP Publishing has selected Ian H. Hutchinson, a professor of nuclear science and engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as the recipient of its 2022 ...

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 ...
