In a comprehensive experimental study, an international team of researchers has confirmed the calculations of a leading ...

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

“This leap forward demonstrates how our knowledge of plasmas and technological control of them over longer periods is becoming more mature, and offers hope that fusion plasmas can be stabilised for ...

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 ...
