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 ...

This program, which is called "the hybrid simulation program," has been used to study energetic ions that will play an important role in sustaining high-temperature plasma in a future fusion reactor.

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

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 ...

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 ...

To do so, his group created a plasma simulation using a computer code known as X-Point Included Gyrokinetic Code (XGC). This code is one of several developed and maintained by PPPL that are used ...
