Plasma—the electrically charged fourth state of matter—is at the heart of many important industrial processes, including ...

The US Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has developed a new simulation method that can ...

This is rapidly changing, becoming an equal three-way partnership between theory, simulation and experiment. Computing is now playing an equal role in this triad. Electrostatic potential of a toroidal ...

The detailed simulation is the first basic physics, or first-principles-based, modeling with few simplifying assumptions. The research was achieved with the extreme-scale plasma turbulence code ...

Y Combinator-backed startup Photonium, which automates optical design systems with AI, was launched on Thursday ...

Fusion energy startup Realta Fusion, a University of Wisconsin-Madison partner, announced they are moving into the next phase ...

HEAT is being updated so that the plasma simulation will be 3D, matching the 3D computer-aided design (CAD) model of the tokamak divertor. Located at the base of the fusion vessel, the divertor ...

This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected through the supposedly last confinement surface into the divertor plasma region. The long and thin ...

The most detailed simulation of the chaotic supersonic plasma that floats across our universe has revealed an intricate map of swirling magnetic fields. Clouds of charged particles, or plasmas ...
