I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#A magnetic field with an edge” Magnetic field in beam-plasma interaction: The field begins at the beam boundary and is larger than that in the bulk. Credit: Ratan Bera A team of Indian and Japanese physicists have overturned the six-decade old notion that the giant magnetic field in a high intensity laser produced plasma evolves…
“#Researchers find unexpected electrical current that could stabilize fusion reactions” An artist’s rendering of electrical current flowing through a tokamak fusion facility. Credit: Elle Starkman Electric current is everywhere, from powering homes to controlling the plasma that fuels fusion reactions to possibly giving rise to vast cosmic magnetic fields. Now, scientists at the U.S. Department…
“#Revised code could help improve efficiency of fusion experiments” Credit: CC0 Public Domain An international team of researchers led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has upgraded a key computer code for calculating forces acting on magnetically confined plasma in fusion energy experiments. The upgrade will be part of…
“#World record: Plasma accelerator operates right around the clock” In laser-plasma acceleration, a strong laser pulse (red) generates a plasma wave (blue) in hydrogen gas by stripping electrons from gas molecules. The electrons (red) ride the wave like a surfer in the wake of a boat. This pushes them to high energies extremely quick. The…
“#New findings could help scientists tame damaging heat bursts in fusion reactors” Physicists Ahmed Diallo, left, and Julien Dominski shown with collage of DIII-D tokamak.

Such action would mimic the process that causes damaging heat bursts called edge…
“#Scientists propose method for eliminating damaging heat bursts in fusion device” Physicists Raffi Nazikian and Qiming Hu with figure from research behind them.

That limitation would be similar to the plight facing scientists who…
“#Scientists propose a novel method for controlling fusion reactions” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Scientists have found a novel way to prevent pesky magnetic bubbles in plasma from interfering with fusion reactions—delivering a potential way to improve the performance of fusion energy devices. And it comes from managing radio frequency (RF) waves to stabilize the magnetic…
“#First results of an upgraded device highlight lithium’s value for producing fusion” The team that upgraded the LTX-β. Front row from left: Shigeyuki Kubota, Dylan Corl, Guy Rossi, Anurag Maan (behind Rossi). Second row from left: Filippo Scotti, Dennis Boyle, Drew Elliott, Dick Majeski, Tom Kozub, Paul Hughes, Ron Bell (behind Hughes), Kristopher Gilton. Third…
“#France’s global nuclear fusion device a puzzle of huge parts” Assembly hall at the construction site of the ITER ( the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), where components for the ITER Tokamak will be pre-assembled before integration into the machine in the CEN of Cadarache, in Saint-Paul-Lez-Durance, southern France, Tuesday, July 28, 2020. A project of…
“#While birds chirp, plasma shouldn’t: New insight could advance fusion energy” PPPL physicist Roscoe White and colleagues have furthered understanding of a barrier that can prevent doughnut-shaped fusion facilities known as tokamaks from operating at high efficiency by causing vital heat to be lost from them.
