A research team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma ...

Researchers held a high-quality plasma steady for 43 seconds using frozen hydrogen, setting new fusion record.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
