Why we need to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, with Carbon180’s Anu Khan
Good Clean Energy is a podcast that tackles one of the most existential questions of our time: how to build a world with abundant, affordable, carbon-free electricity. TAE’s Jim McNiel dives into deep conversations with experts ranging from scientists to innovators to changemakers about the challenges our current energy systems face and updates on the race for game-changing, clean ways to power our lives.
In this episode, Jim is joined by Anu Khan, Deputy Director of Science and Innovation at the nonprofit Carbon180, to discuss the ins and outs of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Stabilization of the Alfven-ion cyclotron instability through short plasmas: Fully kinetic simulations in a high-beta regime
October 2023 | B. Nicks | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
The Alfven-ion cyclotron (AIC) mode is an instability that can be driven in magnetized plasmas with anisotropic pressure. Its chief deleterious effect is the driving of enhanced pitch-angle scattering of ions
