A team of physicists and engineers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory built a twisting fusion reactor known as a stellarator that uses permanent magnets, showcasing a potentially cost-effective ...

Whether between galaxies or within doughnut-shaped fusion devices known as tokamaks, the electrically charged fourth state of matter known as plasma regularly encounters powerful magnetic fields, ...

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 ...

Plasma pinches: From pursuits of nuclear fusion to an attractive point source of accelerated protons for proton radiography.

The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was a hot, smooth soup of particles with no mechanism to spin up the enormous ...

A research group led by Associate Professor Masahiro Kobayashi of the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has discovered that in the Large Helical Device (LHD), when fluctuations are ...

The recent dedicated experiments have been carried out in plasma systems that satisfy the global conditions for MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) treatment of the plasma with VA/c «1, S » 1, and ρi/a «1, ...
