Left: Initial temperature and density setup, which mirrors conditions of the stable and isobaric burning process. Middle: the ion scattering trajectories for large or small angles, and the boundaries ...

Scientists have directly demonstrated for the first time how laser beams modify the conditions of a plasma, addressing one of the challenges in the longstanding quest to achieve fusion. New research ...

In a nonequilibrium plasma, the electrons behave very differently from the heavy species, for example having a much higher temperature. In the systems we study in NGPDL, there may be further forms of ...
