Microscopic turbulence in plasma can trigger macroscopic structural changes. In complex physical systems, such cross-scale interactions—between different spatial and temporal scales—are known as ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...

Ammonia is used in fertilizer and many industrial processes. It is also seen as a promising way to store and transport energy, as it is safer and easier to handle ammonia than hydrogen gas. Using ...

A team of South Korean researchers has delivered experimental proof of "multi-scale coupling" in plasma, demonstrating how microscopic events can lead to big changes in this state of matter, ...

Using the quirky physics of plasma, this torch instantly converts mixed plastic waste into chemical compounds that can be recycled for other projects. reading time 2 minutes Why sort plastic when you ...

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright visited the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) on Aug. 20 at a pivotal time for the race toward reliable fusion energy, which decisions ...

What do solar flares, lab-grown plasma, and a nebula 25,000 light-years away have in common? A cosmic twist, literally. In a breakthrough that braids together the Sun’s outer atmosphere and the heart ...

For all the problems AI is causing society, one of its greatest benefits lies in the world of science. A new study focused on the chaotic dynamics of dusty plasmas found that, when trained properly, ...

Physicists have used a machine-learning method to identify surprising new twists on the non-reciprocal forces governing a many-body system. The work is one of the relatively few instances of using AI ...

Sometimes a tool — like a hammer — comes along and everything starts looking like a nail. But other times, new tools end up being more than a simple blunt-force object. The investors at SOSV are ...

Providing capabilities found nowhere else in the world as it probes the physics behind magnetic reconnection, the Facility for Laboratory Reconnection Experiments (FLARE) is up and running at the U.S.
