Our Sun experiences regular eruptions of material into space, but solar physicists still have difficulty in explaining why these dramatic events take place. Now scientists think they have the answer: ...
Stephen Majeski, a graduate student in the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, and Professor Hantao Ji, a professor in the astrophysics department, have made a new discovery that allows them to ...

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 ...
NASA's Voyager 2 probe flew through a blob of charged gas called a plasmoid decades ago, and scientists only just now realized it. The blob could reveal secrets about the planet's atmosphere loss, ...
Researchers have, for the first time, simulated the formation of structures called 'plasmoids' during Coaxial Helicity Injection, a process that could simplify the design of fusion facilities known as ...
