Wave-particle interactions across the solar system can have a wide range of effects though they are caused by the same set of ...

Reversed field pinch (RFP) plasma physics is a distinctive branch of magnetic confinement research that explores self-organised plasma equilibria in which the toroidal magnetic field reverses in 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 ...

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory published a new paper last week, marking significant results from the lab’s artificial intelligence research. In the paper, published in Nature Communications, PPPL ...

Plenty of research happens in labs, at computer stations, in libraries and coffee shops and in fields of many kinds. Some of it must happen far beyond the beaten path. Such is the case if you are a ...

While traditional rockets have gotten us into space for decades, newer tech is on the horizon, like this plasma engine that ...

Future fusion power plants will require good plasma confinement to sustain reactions and generate energy. One way to contain plasma for fusion reactions is to use a tokamak, a device that applies ...

In a recent breakthrough that has left the scientific community astounded, researchers have managed to create a stable ring of plasma in a laboratory setting. This unprecedented achievement could have ...

Supermassive black holes have been known to belch gigantic beams of plasma into space – and now scientists have managed to recreate these fireballs in a lab at CERN. Although black holes are famous ...

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 ...

Kearny-based Thea Energy partners with AWS to advance stellarator fusion technology, aiming to bring clean, commercial fusion ...
