Terahertz (THz) radiation, situated between the microwave and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, has emerged as a pivotal tool in plasma physics research. The generation of intense, ...

The Nature Index tracks primary research articles from 145 natural-science and health-science journals, chosen based on reputation by an independent group of researchers. The Nature Index provides ...

Kyoto, Japan -- Lead author Yurii Victorovich Kovtun, despite being forced to evacuate the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology amid the current Russia-Ukraine war, has continued to work with ...

For the first time, scientists have built a fusion experiment using permanent magnets, a technique that could show a simple way to build future devices for less cost and allow researchers to test new ...

changes in the topology of the field by breaking and reconnecting the magnetic field lines. This process occurs in (magnetohydrodynamic) "sawtooth" oscillations in tokamak plasmas, in sun spots, and ...

At the Columbia Plasma Physics Lab, researchers are tackling one of the most pressing challenges in creating clean energy: making nuclear fusion a viable power source. Unlike nuclear fission—the type ...
