Marshall N. Rosenbluth

Marshall N. Rosenbluth was a prominent physicist known for his contributions to plasma physics, particularly in understanding plasma waves and oscillations, which are essential for developing fusion energy. His work advanced the knowledge of how charged particles behave in hot, ionized gases (plasmas), such as those found in stars and laboratory fusion devices. Rosenbluth's research helped establish vital theoretical frameworks and models that have implications in both astrophysical phenomena and practical applications in fusion technology, making significant strides towards harnessing fusion as a clean energy source.
