In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have performed the first global simulations of monster shocks ...

Plasma mirrors capable of withstanding the intensity of powerful lasers are being designed through an emerging machine ...

A team of South Korean researchers has delivered experimental proof of "multi-scale coupling" in plasma, demonstrating how microscopic events can lead to big changes in this state of matter, ...

In the blink of an eye, the unruly, superheated plasma that drives a fusion reaction can lose its stability and escape the strong magnetic fields confining it within the donut-shaped fusion reactor.

Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...

New fusion simulations of the inside of a tokamak reveal the ideal spot for a 'cave' with flowing liquid lithium is near the bottom by the center stack, as the evaporating metal particles should land ...
