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 ...

Among the intriguing issues in plasma physics are those surrounding X-ray pulsars -- collapsed stars that orbit around a cosmic companion and beam light at regular intervals, like lighthouses in the ...

For all the problems AI is causing society, one of its greatest benefits lies in the world of science. A new study focused on the chaotic dynamics of dusty plasmas found that, when trained properly, ...

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 ...

My research is in the general area of space plasma physics, cosmic dust, and planetary science. My primary work takes place at the Institute for Modeling Plasmas ...

Researchers in South Korea have solved a long-standing mystery in plasma physics by experimentally demonstrating how tiny magnetic ripples can trigger large-scale structural changes within plasma. The ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) just celebrated a milestone in its research on fusion energy. After nearly four years of round-the-clock work by 250 people, the PPPL completed a $94 ...

Some of the original Princeton Plasma Physics Lab group who were on hand for the world-record DT shot posed in the control room in honor of the 20th anniversary in the same spots as the original photo ...
