demonstrate the scientific feasibility of net energy production from Focus Fusion—net energy meaning more energy out than is lost in making that energy. In the past month’s experiments, LPP’s research ...

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have for the first time directly observed a phenomenon that had previously only been hypothesized to ...

Researchers at the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s (UAH) Propulsion Research Center are working on the Plasmoid Thruster Experiment (PTX). It is a stepping stone to a highly efficient propulsion ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have for the first time simulated the formation of structures called "plasmoids" during Coaxial Helicity ...

Decades-old data from Voyager 2 has revealed something new about the solar system's oddball planet When NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft flew past Uranus in January of 1986, it gave us our first up-close ...

This time-lapse movie shows the formation and collapse of a complexly shaped plasma stream traveling at almost 100 kilometers per seconds in front of a coronal loop system. This is likely the first ...

Physicists have for the first time directly observed a phenomenon that had previously only been hypothesized to exist. The phenomenon, plasmoid instabilities that occur during collisional magnetic ...
