Rutherford Energy Ventures (REV) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are collaborating to pilot an innovative public-private partnership framework designed to accelerate the development of ...

Producing fusion energy requires heating plasma to more than one hundred million degrees and confining it stably with strong ...

Terahertz (THz) radiation, situated between the microwave and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, has emerged as a pivotal tool in plasma physics research. The generation of intense, ...

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 ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), roughly 4 miles out from campus, is a national lab run by the Department of Energy and yet remains a relatively elusive branch of Princeton’s research ...

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 ...

Laszlo Horvath, an early career physicist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) stationed at General Atomics in San Diego, is the winner of the 2022 ...

When a gas is highly energized, its electrons get torn from the parent atoms, resulting in a plasma—the oft-forgotten fourth ...
