The film demonstrates an experiment using an apparatus to observe the behavior of electrons in a uniform magnetic field. It explains how electrons are accelerated by an electron gun and then deflected ...

Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation. In ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable ...

A new initiative is emerging at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory managed by Princeton University. Under the direction of principal ...

A team of physicists and engineers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory built a twisting fusion reactor known as a stellarator that uses permanent magnets, showcasing a potentially cost-effective ...
