Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific ...

It turns out that containing the same process that powers the sun can be turbulent work. Even microscale eddies in fusion plasma experiments can cause performance degradation, according to a release ...

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 ...

This experiment is the first confirmation of an abstract framework. Chinese scientists make groundbreaking discovery in ...

Fusion energy is being developed as a solution to global energy problems. In particular, the magnetic confinement method, in which ultra-high temperature plasma is confined by a magnetic field, is the ...

A team of U.S. scientists has made a surprising discovery that could help bring fusion energy, a long-hoped-for clean energy source, closer to reality. In a recent experiment at the University of ...

Plasma, the electrically charged state of matter that lights up stars and neon signs, has just revealed a subtle effect that had never been directly seen before, yet appears to be woven through much ...

The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) has begun its 2024 plasma experiments, aiming to secure advanced plasma operation technologies. This year’s experiments will focus on developing ...

The new research verifies Rajagopal’s account of the QGP, using a neutral, electrically weak particle called the Z boson as a marker to track the movement of quarks in the plasma. Since the Z boson ...
