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 ...

Plasma is usually introduced as the stuff of stars and fusion reactors, a searing soup of charged particles that has little in common with the ice in a household freezer. Yet new experiments show that ...

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 ...
