The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) two highly competitive Microelectronics Science Research Center projects. PPPL researchers will lead two ...

Most of the back-breaking science—singling out and tracking Higgs bosons, for example—from the world’s largest particle accelerator happens when it launches humble protons at nearly the ...

Scientists in New Jersey have, for the first time, captured data around the “sloshing” (yes, that is the scientific term) which occurs when plasma interacts with powerful magnetic fields – something ...

The SMART tokamak - an experimental fusion device designed, built and operated by the Plasma Science and Fusion Technology Laboratory of the University of Seville, Spain - has generated its first ...

According to Interesting Engineering, researchers at the University of Sydney have invented a compact plasma device that can transform air into ammonia gas using electricity.

Tokamak devices are central to fusion energy research. They use powerful magnetic fields to contain and shape plasma—a state ...

A new development in plasma physics is so promising when it comes to delivering a practical freeze ray that the US Air Force has awarded Hopkins' Experiments and Simulations in Thermal Engineering ...

Scientists unveil advanced instrument to probe plasma behavior in stars and fusion reactors -- a press release is provided to you 'as is' with little or no review from Science X staff./ ...

Distortion of the plasma phase-space distribution can occur in high-temperature plasmas and is believed to have a significant impact on plasma performance.

Researchers provide experimental data about how radiation travels through dense plasmas. Their data will improve plasma models, which allow scientists to better understand the evolution of stars ...

A plasma wind tunnel completely vaporizes a model of a satellite in a video from the European Space Agency (ESA), demonstrating how the speed and heat of atmospheric reentry can obliterate even ...
