Plasma—the electrically charged fourth state of matter—is at the heart of many important industrial processes, including those used to make computer chips and coat materials. Simulating those plasmas ...

Scientists from the UKAEA, JKU Linz, and Emmi AI have developed an AI tool called GyroSwin that can perform complex 5D plasma ...

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

The distribution function of energetic particles and the time evolution of the frequency spectrum of fluctuations. Initially, the energetic particle distribution function is mountain-like. It slopes ...

Ubiquitous in the field of electric propulsion, thermionic hollow cathodes are electron sources which utilize thermionic emission from a low work function insert material to achieve large extracted ...

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 ...

Recent advances in laboratory simulations have provided invaluable insights into the complex physics governing astrophysical jets and plasma dynamics. These studies utilise state‐of‐the‐art plasma ...

A new kind of plasma accelerator has cleared a hurdle that has dogged the field for decades, lifting electron energy and beam ...

Black holes aren’t what they eat. Einstein’s general relativity predicts that no matter what a black hole consumes, its external properties depend only on its mass, rotation and electric charge. All ...

Magnetic fields around black holes decay quickly, researchers report. This finding backs up the so-called 'no-hair conjecture' predicted by Einstein's general relativity. Black holes aren't what they ...
