Momentum exists in the physics community for integrating computation into the undergraduate curriculum. One of many benefits would be preparation for computational research. Our investigation poses the question of which computational skills might be

We have explored the thermodynamics of compressed magnetized plasmas in laboratory experiments and we call these studies "magnetothermodynamics". The experiments are carried out in the Swarthmore Spheromak eXperiment device. In this device, a magneti

We report measurements of the equations of state of a fully relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) laboratory plasma. Parcels of magnetized plasma, called Taylor states, are formed in a coaxial magnetized plasma gun, and are allowed to relax and drift int

Measuring the equations of state of a compressed magnetized plasma is important for both advancing fusion experiments and understanding natural systems such as stellar winds. In this paper, we present results from our experiments on the thermodynamic

We analyze similarities and differences between electrostatic probe measurements and high-speed visible light imaging measurements in a low-temperature argon helicon plasma. Electrostatic probes are the usual diagnostics for making fluctuation measur

A new experiment is under development for the study of turbulence, flow, and cross-field transport in a field-reversed configuration. The facility is a merged-spheromak device driven by magnetized coaxial plasma guns. Experimental emphasis is given t

Spatiotemporal splitting events of drift wave (DW) eigenmodes due to nonlinear coupling are investigated in a cylindrical helicon plasma device. DW eigenmodes in the radial-azimuthal cross section have been experimentally observed to split at radial

We report a simple scheme for stabilizing and tuning the length of a conventional piezo-driven optical cavity against the resonant transmission of a master laser. In contrast with other schemes, we drive the piezo at its mechanical resonance of 5 kHz

Here we report that low concentrations of alcohol (1-3 mM) increased Cl(-) currents gated by a recombinant GABA(A) receptor, alpha(4)beta(2)delta, by 40-50% in Xenopus laevis oocytes. We also found greater hippocampal expression of receptors containi

We report experimental studies demonstrating a controlled transition to fully developed broadband turbulence in an argon helicon plasma in a linear plasma device. We show the detailed dynamics during the transition from nonlinearly coupled but distin
