Magnetised plasma dynamics and laser interactions represent a dynamic field at the intersection of plasma physics and high-energy laser technology. Researchers utilise intense laser pulses to generate ...

Microwave plasma dynamics encompasses the study of ionised gases generated by high frequency electromagnetic fields and their complex interactions with the surrounding medium. At the heart of this ...

A research group has achieved a new plasma confinement regime using small 3D magnetic perturbations that simultaneously ...

When a gas is highly energized, its electrons get torn from the parent atoms, resulting in a plasma—the oft-forgotten fourth state of matter (along with solid, liquid, and gas). When we think of ...

The Large Helical Device (LHD) and the heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) system. The inset on the left shows an enlarged view of the section from the negative ion source to the injection side of the tandem ...

Although the idea of containing a plasma within a magnetic field seems straightforward at first, plasmas are highly dynamic systems that will happily escape magnetic confinement if given half a chance ...

Amin Taziny is currently a PostDoctoral Associate at the Center for National Security Initiatives at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he focuses on computational simulations of plasma ...

A team of scientists from the UK Atomic Energy Authority, the Johannes Kepler University Linz, and Emmi AI, have developed an artificial intelligence tool - named GyroSwin - which can create ...

A team of researchers in the Bellan Plasma Lab at Caltech created a plasma in which electrons and positively charged ions exist between ultracold electrodes within a mostly neutral gas environment, ...

Plasma is usually introduced as the stuff of stars and fusion reactors, a searing soup of charged particles that has little in common with the ice in a household freezer. Yet new experiments show that ...
