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 ...

Plenty of research happens in labs, at computer stations, in libraries and coffee shops and in fields of many kinds. Some of it must happen far beyond the beaten path. Such is the case if you are a ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Scientists have observed new details of how plasma interacts with magnetic fields, potentially providing insight into the formation of enormous plasma jets that stretch between the stars. Whether ...

Scientists at China’s EAST tokamak have achieved plasma densities beyond long-standing limits using plasma-wall self-organisation.

The Large Helical Device (LHD) represents a forefront instrument in fusion research, utilising a superconducting helical configuration to generate and confine high-temperature deuterium plasmas. Its ...

New artificial intelligence models for plasma heating can do more than was previously thought possible, not only increasing the prediction speed 10 million times while preserving accuracy but also ...

Complex plasmas, including dusty plasmas, represent an enthralling state of matter where micron‐sized particles are immersed within an ionised gas. In these systems, the charged microparticles ...

An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...

Auburn University physics PhD student Jessica Eskew has been awarded a prestigious U.S. Department of Energy Office of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: 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 ...
