Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden heating process that helps explain how the atmosphere that surrounds the Sun called the “solar corona” can be vastly hotter than the solar surface that ...

At the Inter-University Research Institute Corporation National Institutes of Natural Sciences National Institute for Fusion Science, for the first time in the world, using the newly installed "Plasma ...

Physicists have simulated the spontaneous transition of turbulence at the edge of a fusion plasma to the high-confinement mode that sustains fusion reactions. The research was achieved with the ...

Turbulence, the violently unruly disturbance of plasma, can prevent plasma from growing hot enough to fuel fusion reactions. Long a puzzling concern of researchers has been the impact on turbulence of ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

"We still need supercomputers to ... push the physics frontier." Scientists achieve major breakthrough that could unlock next-gen energy source: 'Something that feels within reach' first appeared on ...

Turbulence in nature refers to the complex, time-dependent, and spatially varying fluctuations that develop in fluids such as water, air, and plasma. It is a universal phenomenon that appears across a ...

The GyrokineticElectroMagnetic (GEM) code developed at CIPS in the past few years has been extended to include arbitrary number of minority ions and a beam ion species. The code is currently applied ...

Scientists mapped turbulent energy in the interstellar medium with record resolution, revealing magnetic effects and insights into galactic structure and star formation. (Nanowerk News) Unlike the ...

For the first time in the world, using the newly installed 'Plasma Simulator' researchers have simulated deuterium plasma turbulence in the Large Helical Device. From this result, we have clarified ...
