Three researchers from the US Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have been awarded the 2025 ...

Combining ECCD and RMP provides greater flexibility and control over fusion plasma. The technique allows for precise adjustment of magnetic islands in the plasma, optimizing edge stability. This ...

Just as in-flight turbulence—irregular disruptions in the airflow—results in a bumpy plane ride, plasma turbulence transports ...

Scientists are embracing imperfection, using less-than-ideal magnetic fields to make the plasma more manageable. In the Japanese art of Kintsugi, an artist takes the broken shards of a bowl and fuses ...

Plasma, the electrically charged state of matter that lights up stars and neon signs, has just revealed a subtle effect that ...

We are on the threshold of a new energy age driven by climate change, increasingly scarce resources and a new environmental awareness. Researchers and developers working on the mobility concepts of ...

Image of digital twin control, in which real plasma is controlled by virtual plasma reproduced on a computer. In this research, we developed a digital twin control system that can estimate optimal ...

A new sensing approach captures reactive species dynamics at the plasma–liquid–gas interface, advancing real-time plasma and gas diagnostics.

Active flow control using plasma actuators offers a novel and increasingly influential method for manipulating aerodynamic flows. By utilising the dielectric barrier discharge mechanism, these devices ...
