Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new method to predict plasma behavior in a nuclear reactor (tokamak) during a rampdown.

Tokamaks are machines that are meant to hold and harness the power of the sun. These fusion machines use powerful magnets to ...

Electron beam generated plasmas constitute a refined method for producing ionised gases, achieved by directing a high-energy electron beam into a neutral gas. The non-equilibrium ionisation caused by ...

In a recent breakthrough that has left the scientific community astounded, researchers have managed to create a stable ring of plasma in a laboratory setting. This unprecedented achievement could have ...

Complex plasmas, including dusty plasmas, represent an enthralling state of matter where micron‐sized particles are immersed within an ionised gas. In these systems, the charged microparticles ...

Two grants from the Department of Energy were recently awarded to professors in the Department of Physics, one to research professor Alla Safronova and another to professor Bruno Bauer. Both ...

For his DOE CSGF practicum in 2016, Felker worked with physicist William Tang at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, ...

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory published a new paper last week, marking significant results from the lab’s artificial intelligence research. In the paper, published in Nature Communications, PPPL ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), roughly 4 miles out from campus, is a national lab run by the Department of Energy and yet remains a relatively elusive branch of Princeton’s research ...

Groundbreaking scientific findings on how swirling matter can form stars, planets and supermassive black holes earned a team ...
