Scientists map the microscopic roots of chaos in dusty plasma using supercomputer simulations
Researchers from IIT Jammu and IIT Kanpur used supercomputer simulations to map chaos in dusty plasma. By tracking millions of particles, they showed how dust grains create swirling patterns and turn motion into heat. This study reveals how these particles act like elastic rubber, helping us understand complex fluid turbulence.
