Zap Energy’s approach, known as sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch fusion, differs from massive tokamaks or laser-driven ...

Operating a new device named the Fusion Z-pinch Experiment 3, or FuZE-3, Zap Energy has now achieved plasmas with electron ...

Zap Energy’s FuZE-3 device has reached giga-pascal-level plasma pressures thanks to a novel design that independently tunes acceleration and compression. These early results suggest rapid progress ...

AIP Publishing today announced that Igor Kaganovich of the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory ...

The U.S. Department of Energy 's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) celebrated a significant milestone in the ...

Increasing the surface area when plasma and water interact could help scale up a technology that destroys contaminants such ...

Researchers Ni Guohua and Associate Researcher Sun Hongmei from the Institute of Plasma Physics, together with Associate ...

University of Iowa professors are taking the lead on plasma physics and fusion-energy research. A campus committee has created a strategic plan to advise the Office of Fusion Energy Science with the U ...

Plasma exists in a mixed form of electrons, positive ions and neutral atoms or molecules and plays an important role in many processes; from astrophysical solar flares to nuclear fusion devices for ...

Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, researchers generated plasma fireballs to simulate blazar jets. The beams stayed ...

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 ...

Electron beam generated plasmas constitute a refined method for producing ionised gases, achieved by directing a high-energy electron beam into a neutral gas. The non-equilibrium ionisation caused by ...
