Plasma Astrophysics is the cross-disciplinary field that aims at understanding various astrophysical phenomena by applying the knowledge obtained in Plasma Physics. Since most of the visible matter in ...
Nuclear and plasma physics together probe matter under extreme conditions, from the sub-atomic forces that bind protons and neutrons into nuclei, to the collective behaviour of fully ionised gases in ...
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 ...
Plasma science and technology are undergoing a period of significant growth, supported by advances in plasma sources, high-precision diagnostics, modelling capabilities, and computational tools.
Ion Cyclotron Emission (ICE) is a diagnostic phenomenon observed in magnetically confined plasmas, where energetic ions drive compressional oscillations that emit electromagnetic radiation at discrete ...
The story of the generation of physicists involved in the development of a sustainable energy source, controlled fusion, using a method called magnetic confinement. Once upon a time, people thought ...
STARKVILLE, Miss.—Chuji Wang, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Mississippi State University, is the recipient of a $199,000 grant from the Department of Energy’s Discovery ...
Multi-physics simulation of electromagnetic, and electrostatics in complex dielectric and metallic environments; Combination of computational speed leveraging GPUs, and high-fidelity results for ...
The plasma and beams group conducts research at the crossroads of plasma physics, particle beam physics, and laser physics. Our goal is to study particle beam acceleration in strong plasma waves that ...
Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter. It is produced by applying heat and pressure as it does not exist on Earth naturally. Plasma is unique from other states of matter because of ...
