During those very early moments of the universe, things were extraordinarily hot, and quark-gluon plasma behaves in strange ...

The density of magnetically confined plasma is only about one millionth that of the atmosphere, and collisions between constituent particles occur only rarely.

A research group using the NIFS 'Plasma Simulator' supercomputer succeeded for the first time in the world in calculating the movements of one billion plasma particles and the electrical field ...

Here, in addition to newly developing a calculation program by utilizing the Plasma Simulator's capacity, they also were able to calculate the movements of one billion particles.

In fusion power generation, it is essential that the high-energy particles generated by a fusion reaction in hot plasma heat it to sustain further fusion reactions. The key to this self-heating of ...

Physicists have found evidence of X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, based near Geneva ...

Plasma is a state of matter that is similar to gas, but the atomic particles are charged rather than neutral.

Scientists may have discovered when and how high-energy particles that bombard Earth and other objects emerge from violent environments such as the sun's atmosphere.

New findings by PPPL researchers suggest that particles escaping the core plasma inside a tokamak collide with a larger area of the tokamak than once thought, greatly reducing the risk of damage.

Our observations show that dynamic principles describing magnetospheric plasma are relevant to plasma confined by a levitated dipole. Turbulence usually makes plasmas more homogeneous.

The density of magnetically confined plasma is only about one millionth that of the atmosphere, and collisions between constituent particles occur only rarely.
