The first-ever image of a black hole—a glowing, ring-like structure at the heart of galaxy M87—was unveiled to the world in a ...

Scientists had theorized about the possibility of a plasma physics phenomenon, but their AI system discovered the real thing.

Researchers at Skoltech, together with a colleague from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics of the Chinese ...

Quantum field theories are powerful tools for particle physics and condensed matter physics but are rarely used in plasma physics. However, in warm-dense regimes, where matter is partially ionized and ...

A pair of physicists with long ties to PPPL are being honored for their foundational work on turbulence in plasma. Understanding why instabilities occur and how to limit them is critical to perfecting ...

The $881,524 award will fund Kunz’s research on the generation of magnetic fields throughout the early universe and will finance biennial summer schools on the physics of plasma — the state of matter ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems has begun assembling its SPARC tokamak by placing the first of 18 toroidal-field magnets into the compact fusion device, a step that brings the company closer to its goal ...

Researchers have uncovered a process in the swirling masses of plasma surrounding black holes and neutron stars that can cause previously unexplained emissions of light and heat. These findings can ...

Plasma physics examines the behaviour of ionised gases in which collective electromagnetic effects dominate. In magnetic‐confinement fusion, hot plasmas of deuterium–tritium fuel are held in toroidal ...

Low-temperature plasma-assisted catalysis has emerged as a promising approach for activating chemically stable molecules under non-equilibrium conditions.
