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 ...

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 ...

Plasma science and technology are undergoing a period of significant growth, supported by advances in plasma sources, high-precision diagnostics, modelling capabilities, and computational tools.

Harnessing the power of the sun holds the promise of providing future societies with energy abundance. To make this a reality ...

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 ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...

Abstract: This seminar will cover an overview of current and future research objectives as well as several newly commissioned plasma tunnels for hypersonic applications in the Magnetoaerodynamics and ...

Magnetised plasma dynamics and laser interactions represent a dynamic field at the intersection of plasma physics and high-energy laser technology. Researchers utilise intense laser pulses to generate ...

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

The IAEA is inviting interested partners to participate in a new five-year Coordinated Research Project (CRP) aimed at advancing plasma science, technology and applications in health, agriculture, ...
