"We will access operating conditions that we have never achieved before." Researchers unveil revolutionary device that can ...

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 ...

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source ...

Electron beam generated plasmas constitute a refined method for producing ionised gases, achieved by directing a high-energy electron beam into a neutral gas. The non-equilibrium ionisation caused by ...

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 ...

Physicists used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The journal PNAS published the findings by experimental and ...

Researchers are using artificial intelligence to perfect the design of the vessels surrounding the super-hot plasma, optimize heating methods and maintain stable control of the reaction for ...

For all the problems AI is causing society, one of its greatest benefits lies in the world of science. A new study focused on the chaotic dynamics of dusty plasmas found that, when trained properly, ...

The possibility of generating useful amounts of electricity by blowing hot gas between the poles of a magnet has long intrigued adventurous physicists. Many have tried to turn the trick, but until Dr.
