The mechanism that can cause a rapidly expanding plasma—the superhot state of matter harnessed in fusion energy systems—to ...

Scientists have determined the laser intensity threshold that causes expanding fusion plasmas to quickly generate strong magnetic fields. Detailed simulations tracked how these fields form within a ...

Research BackgroundWhen walking through a dense forest, a compass is indispensable for knowing which direction to take, and it works because the Earth ...

Researchers at Cal Poly have shown that periodically changing magnetic fields can generate exotic quantum phases with no equivalent in stationary materials. Their Physical Review B study also ...
