An educational outreach site maintained by the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in the US, IPPEX features several interactive, game-like tools (applets) for exploring the physics of fusion, the ...

NASA scientists are reshaping the basic understanding of a type of wave in space known as a kinetic Alfvén wave. When NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale -- or MMS -- mission was launched, the scientists ...

Physicists have simulated the spontaneous transition of turbulence at the edge of a fusion plasma to the high-confinement mode that sustains fusion reactions. The research was achieved with 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 ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The work is one of the relatively few instances of using AI ...

An Introduction to Waves, Rays and Radiation in Plasma Media By Dr. J. J. Brandstatter. Pp. xiv + 690. (New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc.; London: McGraw-Hill ...

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 dusty plasmas found that, when trained properly, ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory is the U.S. national laboratory with the mission to develop the scientific foundation for the creation of fusion energy, the power source of the sun and the ...

Elizabeth Paul, a groundbreaking physicist who is a 2015 alumna and a 2020 Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), has won ...

Please see the full solicitation for complete information about the funding opportunity. Below is a summary assembled by the Research & Innovation Office (RIO). The objective of this program is to ...

2001-12-01 04:00:00 PDT Los Angeles-- John M. Dawson, a leading authority on plasma physics, died Nov. 17 at his home. He was 71. The cause of death has not been determined, said Warren Mori, a ...
