In the Magnetic Confinement applet, the aim is to keep the plasma within the tokamak cross-section by switching magnets on and off. Additional applets appear in tutorials illustrating basic principles ...

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 ...

Plasma Physics Plasma exists in a mixed form of electrons, positive ions and neutral atoms or molecules and plays an important role in many processes; from astrophysical solar flares to nuclear ...

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 ...

Quantum field theories are powerful tools for particle physics and condensed matter physics but are rarely used in plasma physics. However, in warm-dense regimes, where matter is partially ionized and ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system.

Using artificial intelligence to speed up and improve the most computationally-intensive aspects of plasma physics in fusion Researchers look to machine learning to optimize the design and control ...

A fusion breakthrough in Europe has its roots in research from scientists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
