Renowned plasma scientist urges researchers and institutions to focus on scalable applications of plasma-based ...

Leading the way into what computer scientists call the exascale era, the Frontier supercomputer will debut at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) in Tennessee in 2021. Just ...

Nuclear and plasma physics together probe matter under extreme conditions, from the sub-atomic forces that bind protons and neutrons into nuclei, to the collective behaviour of fully ionised gases in ...

Interferometry has become an indispensable diagnostic tool in plasma physics, enabling the precise measurement of electron densities and detailed imaging of plasma behaviour. By utilising the ...

The construction phase of large fusion facilities is in visible progress. Important investments are being made with the construction of the magnetic confinement fusion device Iter (France), as a joint ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Chuji Wang, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Mississippi State University, is the recipient of a $199,000 grant from the Department of Energy’s Discovery ...

Multi-physics simulation of electromagnetic, and electrostatics in complex dielectric and metallic environments; Combination of computational speed leveraging GPUs, and high-fidelity results for ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

For the first time, scientists have 'photographed' a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into spaghetti-like filaments. A new study, published in Physical Review Letters, ...

Plasma wakefield accelerators can provide energy gain of up to two orders of magnitude greater than conventional RF accelerators, making them a promising new technology for creating compact particle ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...
