Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

In the Magnetic Confinement applet, the aim is to keep the plasma within the tokamak cross-section by switching magnets on and off. Additional applets appear in tutorials illustrating basic principles ...

Scientists pursuing magnetically-confined nuclear fusion as a clean energy source grapple with the "core-edge challenge," the ...

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 ...

Mr. Dawson first applied the technique to simulate the physics phenomena of plasma, a gaseous collection of free-moving electrons and ions that makes up 99 percent of the visible universe.

In a scientific first, South Korean scientists have provided experimental proof of "multi-scale coupling" in plasma, where ...

His research focuses on space physics, plasma physics, turbulence theory and computational physics. He is an associate director of the Delaware Space Grant Consortium, coordinating student ...

Some of the original Princeton Plasma Physics Lab group who were on hand for the world-record DT shot posed in the control room in honor of the 20th anniversary in the same spots as the original ...
