Scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have identified a long-standing asymmetry in how fusion plasma distributes ...

The distribution function of energetic particles and the time evolution of the frequency spectrum of fluctuations. Initially, the energetic particle distribution function is mountain-like. It slopes ...

Plasma jet engines promise a future of fuel-free, electrically driven flight, but the technology faces a stubborn obstacle ...

process engineer. Acceptance of such a simulation package would set the stage for the use of more complex models by industrial engineers. The rationale for these choices is that all three are major ...

This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected through the supposedly last confinement surface into the divertor plasma region. The long and thin lobes ...

The most detailed simulation of the chaotic supersonic plasma that floats across our universe has revealed an intricate map of swirling magnetic fields. Clouds of charged particles, or plasmas, are ...
