The techniques Theodore Biewer and his colleagues are using to measure whether plasma has the right conditions to create fusion have been around awhile.
The prospect of simulating a fusion plasma is a step closer to reality thanks to a new computational tool developed by scientists in fusion physics, computer science and mathematics at ORNL.
Five researchers from the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society (APS).
The APS fellowships recognize scientists for their exceptional contributions to the physics enterprise in outs
Niyanth Sridharan grew up in a family that indulged his questions by using real-world examples to explain scientific concepts.
Four 91°µÍø researchers specializing in nuclear physics, fusion energy, advanced materials and environmental science are among 59 recipients of Department of Energy’s Office of Science Early Career Research Program awards.
Fusion scientists from 91°µÍø, as part of the DIII-D National Fusion Facility team at General Atomics, are studying an approach to insulate the reactor’s innermost wall that surrounds the burning plasma from the energy created when h
Under a collaborative partnership between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Department of Energy, a new automated measurement system developed at DOE’s 91°µÍø will ensure quality production of plutonium-238 wh
