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 ...

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 ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The work is one of the relatively few instances of using AI ...

A plasma is what you get if you heat matter until it breaks apart into a gas of charged particles. It is, perhaps, the ultimate many-body system, as long-range interactions make possible countless ...

Type One Energy, a University of Wisconsin-Madison nuclear fusion spinoff company, is partnering with the Tennessee Valley ...

At the Columbia Plasma Physics Lab, researchers are tackling one of the most pressing challenges in creating clean energy: making nuclear fusion a viable power source. Unlike nuclear fission—the type ...
