Placing a magnet on your refrigerator might hold up your calendar, but researchers have now found that placing one outside a plasma chamber causes a localized, fireball-like structure. This work may ...
Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time ...
The team performed high-resolution particle simulations using the KAIROS supercomputer at the Korea Institute of Fusion ...
A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

Microscopic turbulence in plasma can trigger macroscopic structural changes. In complex physical systems, such cross-scale ...
To harness the forces that power the Sun to produce substantial clean energy on Earth, researchers heat fuel to such a high temperature that atoms melt into electrons and nuclei to form a hot, gaseous ...
THE use of a coaxial plasma gun with radial magnetic field for the production of magnetized plasma rings was suggested 1 by H. Alfvén in 1958. Experiments with a plasma gun of that type were started ...
To harness the forces that power the Sun, researchers heat fuel to such a high temperature that atoms melt into electrons and nuclei to form a hot, gaseous soup called plasma. The plasma can rip ...
