A method known as coaxial helicity injection could eliminate an expensive component in tokamaks, leading to a more economical fusion reactor. Researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory ...

Solar flares and coronal mass ejections, the primary space weather disturbances affecting the entire heliosphere and near-Earth environment, mainly emanate from sunspot regions harbouring high degrees ...

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 ...

NASA NIAC has funded studying the development of a constellation of spacecraft powered by the Helicity Drive, a compact and scalable fusion propulsion system. In April 2, 2024 – Helicity Space had an ...

SAN FRANCISCO – Helicity Space, a California startup developing fusion engines for spaceflight, announced an investment April 2 from Lockheed Martin Ventures. While the parties declined to reveal the ...

Metasurfaces are engineered interfaces that contain a thin layer of plasmonic or dielectric nanostructures capable of manipulating light in a desirable manner. Advances in metasurfaces have led 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 ...
