Scientists report a world-first plasma find common in nature
Plasma has long been treated as an exotic laboratory curiosity, yet a new world-first result is forcing scientists to look at ...
New research describes striking similarity of laboratory research findings with observations of the four-satellite Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission that studies magnetic reconnection in space. As on ...
A research group led by Associate Professor Masahiro Kobayashi of the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has discovered that in the Large Helical Device (LHD), when fluctuations are ...
The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) just celebrated a milestone in its research on fusion energy. After nearly four years of round-the-clock work by 250 people, the PPPL completed a $94 ...
A team of Chinese and American scientists has learned how to maintain high fusion performance under steady conditions by exploiting a characteristic of the plasma itself: the plasma self-generates ...
Re-creating conditions on the sun’s surface inside a laboratory plasma chamber, scientists find surprising insights into solar outbursts The sun is an alien place where matter in a state rarely ...
In order to achieve fusion power generation, it is necessary to confine and maintain high-temperature plasma in a magnetic field. To achieve this, the turbulence that causes the plasma temperature to ...
