Discovery reshapes our understanding of heat transfer in extreme materials, with implications for inertial confinement fusion and high-energy-density science ...

Our research on dusty plasmas has been motivated by these naturally occurring plasmas. There are five major areas to our research. Noctilucent cloud in the summer polar mesosphere. The largest ...

A model for dense degenerate plasmas that incorporates electron spin indicates that quantum effects can be seen even under conditions previously considered to be in the classical regime.

Magnetically confined plasmas are those plasmas that are trapped using magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can prevent high-temperature plasma coming into contact with solid materials that it could ...

Like engineers who design high-performance Formula One race cars, scientists want to create high-performance plasmas in ...

LM26 is now forming plasmas daily as General Fusion’s team optimizes performance in preparation for its next step—compressing ...

This course aims at readers with a degree in physics (or equivalent, e.g. astrophysics, mathematics, engineering), willing to learn plasma physics for reasons such as pursuing a master or PhD on ...

Interest in hypersonic flight, spacecraft re-entry, propulsion systems, and fluid mechanics led him to join the Magnetoaerodynamics and Aerospace Plasmas Laboratory at CU Boulder, where he hopes to ...

The only issue is that these plasmas are unstable and don’t last long. Microsoft and Its 1 Million Qubit Quantum Computer Recently, WEST, (tungsten (W) Environment in Steady-state Tokamak), one ...

General Fusion has successfully achieved first plasma in its Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), marking a significant milestone in its pursuit of practical fusion energy.

These ultra-bright high-energy X-rays can be used to image and study extremely dense matter, like the plasmas created during inertial confinement fusion. The team's work was recently published in ...
