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

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, better known as the country’s “artificial sun,” has just done something fusion physicists long treated as impossible. By pushing plasma to ...

The dream of a real lightsaber has always sounded like a physics joke, not an engineering brief. Yet a retractable plasma ...

Thea Energy is the first awardee in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program to complete its design review for ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

China just delivered a result that fusion researchers have chased for decades. The China artificial sun fusion breakthrough ...

For a long time, the Greenwald limit was accepted as a given and incorporated into fusion reactor engineering. The new work shows that precise control over how the plasma is created and interacts with ...

At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer ...

SCIENCE FOR EVERYONE: State Sen. Andrew Zwicker, who is also a physicist and hosts the “Science on Saturday” series at ...

When the US Department of Energy announced that it would stop funding the tokamak at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, ...

By combining observations from two space missions, scientists were able to follow one exceptionally active region on the Sun ...

The earliest acoustic vibrations in the cosmos weren’t exactly sound – they travelled at half the speed of light and there ...
