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 ...

Space plasma physics examines the behaviour of ionised gases in planetary and astrophysical environments where electromagnetic forces dominate over collisional interactions. This field explores ...

Reversed field pinch (RFP) plasma physics is a distinctive branch of magnetic confinement research that explores self-organised plasma equilibria in which the toroidal magnetic field reverses in the ...

Physicists used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The journal PNAS published the findings by experimental and ...

Researchers are using artificial intelligence to perfect the design of the vessels surrounding the super-hot plasma, optimize heating methods and maintain stable control of the reaction for ...

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, ...

Sometimes a tool — like a hammer — comes along and everything starts looking like a nail. But other times, new tools end up being more than a simple blunt-force object. The investors at SOSV are ...

This publication provides an overview of plasma physics and technology aspects of the Deuterium-Tritium fuel cycle in magnetic fusion devices, from ITER to demonstration fusion power plants. The ...

In what already has been a stellar career, University of Delaware physicist William H. Matthaeus has been elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences, one of the most prestigious honors ...
