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 ...
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have uncovered a process in the swirling masses of plasmasurrounding black holes and neutron starsthat ...
Laser-plasma interactions represent a cornerstone of high-energy-density physics, where intense laser pulses interact with solid or gaseous targets to generate plasmas. This process underpins the ...
Creating heat from fusion reactions requires carefully manipulating the properties of plasma, the electrically charged fourth state of matter that makes up 99% of the visible universe. Now, scientists ...
Plasma has long been treated as an exotic laboratory curiosity, yet a new world-first result is forcing scientists to look at this fiery state of matter as something far more familiar. By uncovering a ...
A team of researchers from the Max Born Institute (MBI) in Berlin and DESY in Hamburg has demonstrated a plasma lens capable of focusing attosecond pulses. This breakthrough substantially increases ...
