A pair of physicists with long ties to PPPL are being honored for their foundational work on turbulence in plasma. Understanding why instabilities occur and how to limit them is critical to perfecting ...

At Solfatara, south of Naples, in the crater of what is called locally the “little Vesuvius” many of the delegates who visited Naples for the recent University celebrations saw the following puzzling ...

Ferromagnets, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, are materials with a strong, spontaneous, and permanent magnetic field. Over 150 years ago, the physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell ...

A 19th-century thought experiment, considered for decades to break the laws of thermodynamics, has been brought to life inside a quantum computer and used to charge a quantum battery. Physicist James ...

A chemical pump based on a 19th-century thought experiment involving an invisible “demon” could be used to help separate chemicals in drug manufacturing. Maxwell’s demon, first proposed by physicist ...

Physicists have demonstrated for the first time that non-spinning ferromagnets can exhibit gyroscopic behavior, as predicted by James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century. Using a levitated neodymium ...
