Plasma transport theory

Plasma transport theory studies how particles, energy, and magnetic fields move within a plasma, which is a hot, ionized state of matter like in stars or fusion reactors. It explains how particles diffuse, conduct heat, and carry current, influenced by collisions, magnetic fields, and electric fields. This understanding helps us control plasmas for energy production, develop better space weather predictions, and improve technologies that rely on plasma behavior, ensuring efficient and safe operation in practical applications.
