NASA scientists are reshaping the basic understanding of a type of wave in space known as a kinetic Alfvén wave. When NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale -- or MMS -- mission was launched, the scientists ...

Quantum field theories are powerful tools for particle physics and condensed matter physics but are rarely used in plasma physics. However, in warm-dense regimes, where matter is partially ionized and ...

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 ...

There are several mechanisms that affect a gas when using discharge plasma to initiate combustion or to stabilize a flame. There are two thermal mechanisms—the homogeneous and inhomogeneous heating of ...

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 ...

Please see the full solicitation for complete information about the funding opportunity. Below is a summary assembled by the Research & Innovation Office (RIO). The objective of this program is to ...

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 ...

Elizabeth Paul, a groundbreaking physicist who is a 2015 alumna and a 2020 Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), has won ...

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, ...
