The research opens a promising new chapter in the effort to bring unlimited energy to Earth

New findings reveal through computer simulations a previously unknown role for the Biermann effect that could improve understanding of reconnection

Two of the physicists have focused their efforts on researching how SEE is affected by different wall materials and structures

Scientists use the high-energy beams, which must be stable and intense to work effectively, to unlock the ultimate structure of matter

The measurement tool, known as the Materials Analysis Particle Probe (MAPP), was built by a consortium that includes Princeton University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The spherical design produces high-pressure plasmas—essential ingredients for fusion reactions—with relatively low and cost-effective magnetic fields
