An image revealing the age of high-energy plasma in Stephan's Quintet, as captured by radio observations with the VLA and LOFAR. The blue colours indicate older, low-energy plasma, while the ...

Fusion energy is being researched and developed as a new source of electric power that will contribute to the realization of ...

ITER, which has been described by its own communications team as "arguably the most complex machine ever designed," is now one step closer to delivering virtually unlimited amounts of clean energy.

The successful realization of fusion reactors relies on the ability to effectively confine charged particles with magnetic fields, as this in turn enables the control of high-energy plasma.

The goal of high energy physics (also known as particle physics) is to determine the most fundamental building blocks of matter and to understand the interactions between these particles. The ...
