In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in plasma physics research. In the past, large magnetic fusion experiments have made considerable progress, with theory often being subordinate and ...

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

In initial tests modeling an argon plasma sheath, SLPIC yielded the correct sheath profiles (of potential, density, etc.) more than 100 times faster than the comparable PIC simulation. The SLPIC ...

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

Physics-informed model creates reconstructions based on experimental data, revealing plasma asymmetries and helping optimize ...

Lumartix, a Swiss company specializing in plasma light engine technology, has developed a solar simulator to perform characterization, aging and stabilization tests, with additional light-soaking ...

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 ...

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 ...
