The US Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has developed a new simulation method that can ...

Researchers developed a faster, more stable way to simulate the swirling electric fields inside industrial plasmas -- the kind used to make microchips and coat materials. The improved method could ...

Plasma—the electrically charged fourth state of matter—is at the heart of many important industrial processes, including ...

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory for plasma physics and nuclear fusion science located on Princeton University's Forrestal ...

“The calculations were made possible thanks to detailed discussions with scientists working outside of our speciality of physics, namely plasma physicists,” he tells Physics World. “Throughout this ...

From assembly to first plasma in just two years is remarkably fast, but Song Yuntao—the project’s chief engineer from the ...

Recent advancements in plasma research reveal critical insights into instabilities, enhancing nuclear fusion efficiency and ...

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 ...

It also plays a major role in plasma physics, especially as it pertains to nuclear fusion. In the case of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) the rapidly laser-heated pellet of deuterium-tritium ...
