When laser flashes hit matter, electrons are knocked off their orbits around the atomic nuclei. This can generate extremely ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Large Helical Device (LHD) represents a forefront instrument in fusion research, utilising a superconducting helical configuration to generate and confine high-temperature deuterium plasmas. Its ...

Jingmei Qiu, a Unidel Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Delaware, serves as a co-Principal Investigator at the Center for Hierarchical and Robust Modeling of Non-Equilibrium ...

New fusion simulations of the inside of a tokamak reveal the ideal spot for a 'cave' with flowing liquid lithium is near the bottom by the center stack, as the evaporating metal particles should land ...

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 ...
