Magnetic Confinement of an Ultracold Neutral Plasma [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2021
We demonstrate magnetic confinement of an ultracold neutral plasma (UCNP) created at the null of a biconic cusp, or quadrupole magnetic field. Initially, the UCNP expands due to electron thermal pressure. As the plasma encounters stronger fields, expansion slows and the density distribution molds to the field.

Layer-structured Cr/Cr x N coating via electroplating-based nitridation achieving high deuterium resistance as the hydrogen permeation barrier

Journal of Advanced Ceramics, 2022
Hydrogen isotope permeation through structural materials is a key issue for developing nuclear fusion energy, which will cause fuel loss and radioactive pollution.

Disruption prediction for future tokamaks using parameter-based transfer learning

Communications Physics, 2023
Tokamaks are the most promising way for nuclear fusion reactors. Disruption in tokamaks is a violent event that terminates a confined plasma and causes unacceptable damage to the device.

WEST: Impact of wall conditions on impurity sources and core contamination for various plasma shapes*

Nuclear Materials and Energy
WEST’s unique characteristics with nearly all tungsten (W) PFCs offer an ideal platform to study plasma operations and plasma scenario development for long-pulsed, actively cooled, nearly all W-PFC tokamaks [1]. W erosion/redeposition of the PFCs and the

Calorimetry measurement for energy balance and energy distribution in WEST for L-mode plasmas

Nuclear Fusion
This paper presents the energy balance of 602 pulses from four different experimental campaigns for the WEST tokamak. Different magnetic configurations have been studied, with lower single null (LSN) and upper single null (USN) configuration with ...

Identification of a double decay length (λqt) heat flux deposition shape with embedded thermal measurement and neural network

Nuclear Materials and Energy
The estimation of the heat flux density distribution profiles in tokamak devices is a very important research topic for edge plasma physics purposes and also to ensure the safety of the machine.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Intrapatient tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution in an autopsy study of metastatic salivary gland cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution of metastatic salivary gland cancer were evaluated in two patients with adenoid carcinoma and one patient with myoepithelial carcinoma. Radiology‐guided autopsy enabled multi‐region sampling (total samples n = 149), followed by whole‐genome sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction (17 tumour samples, 4–7 per ...

Tumour‐proximal deep serum proteomics identifies biomarkers associated with ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
New biomarkers are needed for early ovarian cancer detection. Ovarian (tumour‐proximal) and peripheral vein serum from healthy women and patients with benign or malignant tumours underwent nanoparticle‐enriched deep proteomics. Ovarian serum yielded more protein identifications and revealed tumour‐reflective signatures.
