Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

Plasma physics is an enormous sub-field of physics, with physical plasmas existing in anything from metals to the Earth's upper atmosphere to the interiors of stars.

Similarly, magnetically confining a “mildly unstable” plasma is fairly easy, but “totally out of control” plasmas are more of a challenge. A good analogy among plasma-physics insiders is that ...

UI Physics and Astronomy professor Scott Baalrud co-chairs the committee that developed a 10-year plan for the future of plasma physics and fusion-energy research.

Scientists had theorized about the possibility of a plasma physics phenomenon, but their AI system discovered the real thing.

Everyone is familiar with three of the traditional states of matter (liquid, gas and solid) but the fourth fundamental state is one that is less well known, which seems ridiculous as it is the ...

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 ...
