Fusion energy — the process of combining atoms rather than splitting them — has long been seen as the holy grail of clean ...

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 ...

A domestic research team has uncovered the secrets of the 'multi-scale coupling' phenomenon, which has long been a challenge in plasma research. The study is evaluated to provide clues to solving ...

AIP Publishing has selected Stephen C. Jardin, PhD, Principal Research Physicist and Professor at the Plasma Physics Faculty of Princeton University, as the recipient of 2025 Ronald C. Davidson Award ...

An educational outreach site maintained by the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in the US, IPPEX features several interactive, game-like tools (applets) for exploring the physics of fusion, the ...

Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

Modern scientific equipment can be staggeringly expensive. Take, for example, an instrument like a NanoSIMS probe, a instrument that lets scientists pick materials apart a few atoms at a time. There's ...

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 ...

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...
