The University of Seville's SMART tokamak has achieved a critical milestone by creating its first tokamak plasma, utilizing a ...

For some background, plasma is the fourth state of matter, often created by heating a neutral gas or ionizing the gas in a strong electromagnetic field. The availability of free electrons allows ...

such as sudden changes in plasma temperature and the generation of currents; therefore, an understanding of the background physics is desired. Spectroscopy, which measures the light emitted from ...

A radio telescope in South Africa has unearthed a giant galaxy—dubbed a "cosmic megastructure"—with plasma jets that measure ...

Understanding the background physics is desired because distortions in the velocity distribution function can result in unexpected plasma dynamics, such as abrupt changes in plasma temperature and ...

Inkathazos glowing plasma jets are shown in red and yellow. The starlight from other surrounding galaxies can be seen in the ...

Therefore, hot plasma can be confined by strong magnetic fields. Inertial confinement fusion This approach is based on maximizing density by the rapid compression and heating of a small solid DT ...

and investigate plasma physics in relativistic and quantum regimes. We welcome members from all backgrounds with an interest in exploring fundamental physics questions and developing concepts for ...

Astronomers have discovered a giant radio galaxy with plasma jets stretching an incredible 3.3 million light-years—32 times ...
