PASADENA, Calif.–Applied physicists at the California Institute of Technology have devised a plasma experiment that shows how huge long, thin jets of material shoot out from exotic astrophysical ...

In a new milestone for fusion energy research, physicists in China say they have exceeded the plasma-density limit.

The study of material plasma exposure experiments and plasma‐material interactions is critical for advancing fusion energy research and the development of next‐generation plasma facing components.

China’s latest advance with its so‑called artificial sun has pushed fusion plasma into a regime many physicists long treated ...

Just like there are waves in the ocean, waves can also occur in an electrically charged gas called a plasma, made up of electrons and ions. In the ocean, people surf by riding their boards at nearly ...

Researchers in the US have just discovered a new behavior in plasmas after recreating the bizarre conditions seen in deep space, where icy dust, electrified gas, and freezing temperatures collide. In ...

Experts at the BELLA Center used dual laser beams focused onto a sheet of gas to reach a milestone energy in laser-driven electron acceleration. Four members of the larger team gathered with the ...
