The research team of Assistant Professor Masahiko Sato and Professor Yasushi Todo of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has succeeded using ...

Understanding the mechanisms of interaction between plasma and microparticles is of a critical importance in various fields, including astrophysics, microelectronics, and plasma medicine. A common ...

The generation of fusion energy utilizes the fusion reaction that occurs inside a high-temperature plasma. In order to achieve the generation of fusion energy, we confine plasma in the magnetic field ...

Engineers designing nuclear fusion reactors have lived with an infuriating paradox for decades: the plasma conditions that best trap heat inside a reactor tend to be precisely the conditions that make ...

For decades, fusion energy has been a tantalizing prospect for clean energy enthusiasts, offering the potential for abundant power. Xie Huasheng, a fusion theorist and plasma simulation scientist ...

From the maw of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, two enormous jets stream thousands of light-years into space. Scientists still don’t fully understand the physics behind ...

Apple has agreed to acquire PlasmaSolve, a Czech materials science company that develops simulation software for plasma-based manufacturing processes. The transaction was disclosed through a notice ...

Micro-meteor trails are frequently observed in the ionosphere, and their radar echos have long been used to infer neutral wind velocities and temperature, meteor trail size, and altitude. We present ...
