Avalanche Energy lands $29M in funding as plasma physics breakthroughs push compact fusion tech forward and spark momentum in clean energy.

In a few picoseconds (trillionths of a second), a small, thin piece of copper momentarily becomes dense plasma, specifically a state called warm dense matter, warm being a relative term – the metal is ...

Electron beam generated plasmas constitute a refined method for producing ionised gases, achieved by directing a high-energy electron beam into a neutral gas. The non-equilibrium ionisation caused by ...

Russell Kulsrud, Princeton professor of astrophysical sciences, emeritus, died on Sept. 23 at the age of 97. “Russell was one of the people that established the reputation of Princeton Plasma Physics ...

Resistive wall modes (RWMs) represent a class of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities that arise in plasmas confined by conducting structures which, owing to finite electrical resistivity, do not ...
