An educational outreach site maintained by the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in the US, IPPEX features several interactive, game-like tools (applets) for exploring the physics of fusion, the ...

Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

Around the world, research is advancing to efficiently confine fusion plasma and harness its immense energy for power ...

Microscopic turbulence in plasma can trigger macroscopic structural changes. In complex physical systems, such cross-scale interactions—between different spatial and temporal scales—are known as ...

Among the intriguing issues in plasma physics are those surrounding X-ray pulsars -- collapsed stars that orbit around a cosmic companion and beam light at regular intervals, like lighthouses in the ...

Researchers in South Korea have solved a long-standing mystery in plasma physics by experimentally demonstrating how tiny magnetic ripples can trigger large-scale structural changes within plasma. The ...

Some of the original Princeton Plasma Physics Lab group who were on hand for the world-record DT shot posed in the control room in honor of the 20th anniversary in the same spots as the original photo ...
