Increasing the surface area when plasma and water interact could help scale up a technology that destroys contaminants such ...

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 ...

Two grants from the Department of Energy were recently awarded to professors in the Department of Physics, one to research professor Alla Safronova and another to professor Bruno Bauer. Both ...

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 ...

The development of current drive techniques in plasma physics has advanced significantly over recent years, offering promising routes for non-inductive current generation in both experimental and ...

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 ...

A team from the Max Born Institute (MBI) in Berlin and DESY in Hamburg has built the world’s first plasma lens capable of focusing attosecond pulses, a feat that could transform ultrafast physics. The ...

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 ...

Developed in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics specifically for the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, Thales's TH1507U gyrotron has achieved a significant milestone by reaching ...

Rice University researchers have captured the temperature profile of quark-gluon plasma, the ultra-hot state of matter from the dawn of the universe. By analyzing rare electron-positron emissions from ...

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.

Researchers Ni Guohua and Associate Researcher Sun Hongmei from the Institute of Plasma Physics, together with Associate ...
