In the blink of an eye, the unruly, superheated plasma that drives a fusion reaction can lose its stability and escape the strong magnetic fields confining it within the donut-shaped fusion reactor.

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...

New fusion simulations of the inside of a tokamak reveal the ideal spot for a 'cave' with flowing liquid lithium is near the bottom by the center stack, as the evaporating metal particles should land ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For all the problems AI is causing society, one of its greatest benefits lies in the world of science. A new study focused on the chaotic dynamics of ...

Over the past few decades, physicists and engineers have been trying to create increasingly compact laser-plasma accelerators, a technology to study matter and particle interactions produced by ...

Russell Kulsrud, Princeton professor of astrophysical sciences, emeritus, died on Sept. 23 at the age of 97. “Russell was one of the people that established the reputation of Princeton Plasma Physics ...

Helion says its seventh-generation Polaris machine has heated plasma to 150 million degrees Celsius using deuterium-tritium fuel, a milestone the company is pitching as a turning point in the race to ...
