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

How does a star affect the makeup of its planets? And what does this mean for the habitability of distant worlds? Carnegie's ...

The Sun's magnetic field does impact the movement of plasma on the Sun's surface, but it does not actually impact the amount ...

When the US Department of Energy announced that it would stop funding the tokamak at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, ...

CFS hits a key fusion milestone at CES 2026, installing Sparc’s first 20T superconducting magnet and building an ...

Using measurements of the four ESA’s Cluster satellites, a study published this week in Nature Physics shows pioneering experimental evidence of magnetic reconnection also in turbulent ‘plasma’ around ...

For decades, scientists have been working to develop reactors that can achieve fusion to meet the increasing need for clean and limitless energy. The success of such experiments depends on multiple ...

Even though Earth’s magnetic field shields us from solar wind and space weather–it doesn’t always offer complete protection. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism in Earth’s space environment ...

Helicon plasma propulsion represents a promising and multifaceted approach in the domain of electric space propulsion. At its core, the technology utilises helicon waves to generate high-density ...

At the heart of nuclear fusion research is the tokamak, a sophisticated device designed to confine hot plasma using magnetic fields. The tokamak's toroidal shape acts as a "magnetic racetrack," ...

In order to achieve fusion power generation, it is necessary to confine and maintain high-temperature plasma in a magnetic field. To achieve this, the turbulence that causes the plasma temperature to ...
