The scholarships are awarded to students who show exceptional promise of making a significant contribution to the scientific ...

Researchers uncover role of plasma waves in mysterious heating of sun's corona There is a profound mystery in our sun. While the sun's surface temperature measures around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

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, ...

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 ...

Although the idea of containing a plasma within a magnetic field seems straightforward at first, plasmas are highly dynamic systems that will happily escape magnetic confinement if given half a chance ...

Since the publication of Progress in the ITER Physics Basis in 2007, extensive studies have addressed major challenges in tokamak fusion plasma physics, with the International Tokamak Physics Activity ...

At the Columbia Plasma Physics Lab, researchers are tackling one of the most pressing challenges in creating clean energy: making nuclear fusion a viable power source. Unlike nuclear fission—the type ...

The first challenge in Low-Temperature Plasma Physics is “Atmospheric Pressure Nonequilibrium Plasma (APNP)”. For APNP, because its gas temperature is significantly lower than its electron temperature ...

“[W]e have informed several research staff members that they will be separating from PPPL,” Deputy Director for Research Jon Menard wrote to research staff at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL ...
