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

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) has launched a new computing platform that ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

The first time a real retractable plasma blade flared to life on camera, it looked less like a fan project and more like a physics experiment that had slipped its leash. This was not a glowing plastic ...
