Renowned plasma scientist urges researchers and institutions to focus on scalable applications of plasma-based ...

Interferometry has become an indispensable diagnostic tool in plasma physics, enabling the precise measurement of electron densities and detailed imaging of plasma behaviour. By utilising the ...

For the first time, scientists have 'photographed' a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into spaghetti-like filaments. A new study, published in Physical Review Letters, ...

Scientists uncover new properties of plasma that have wide potential applications for astrophysical and fusion plasmas. Scientists have discovered a novel way to classify magnetized plasmas that could ...

At the Columbia Plasma Physics Lab, researchers are tackling one of the most pressing challenges in creating clean energy: making nuclear fusion a viable power source. Unlike nuclear fission—the type ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The work is one of the relatively few instances of using AI ...

Ion Cyclotron Emission (ICE) is a diagnostic phenomenon observed in magnetically confined plasmas, where energetic ions drive compressional oscillations that emit electromagnetic radiation at discrete ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...
