Scientists can now snap ultra-powerful laser pulses in one shot. RAVEN reveals distortions instantly, unlocking breakthroughs ...

The multimillion-dollar experiment that was years in the making comes as the federal government makes broad cuts to science ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have unveiled a pioneering method for capturing the full structure of ultra-intense ...

The Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, or PPPL, has formed a partnership with venture capital firm ...

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule ...

At a June 12 ribbon-cutting event, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory unveiled a new, one-of-a-kind device that represents the next generation of research into fundamental plasma physics.

Sedna will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2076, giving us a rare opportunity to visit the planetoid before it drifts ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking technique called RAVEN that can capture the full complexity of an ultra-intense laser pulse in a single shot—something previously thought nearly impossible.

The bundle of magnets at the heart of the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory's (PPPL) National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade (NSTX-U) is the star of the show.

In the frozen outskirts of the solar system, a reddish dwarf planet orbits in silence. Known as Sedna, it is so distant that ...

As the name suggests, plasma physics concerns the physical properties of plasmas. With increasing temperature, all materials are transformed successively from the solid, to liquid and then gaseous ...
