Luis OS joins editorial board of Journal of Plasma Physics
Read moreStarting January 1st, Luis OS has joined the editorial board of the Journal of Plasma Physics (Cambridge University Press) as Associate Editor. The Journal of Plasma Physics has published some of the fundamental developments of plasma physics. JPP aspires to be the intellectual home of those who think of plasma physics as a fundamental discipline. The journal will particularly focus on publishing research on laboratory plasmas, space physics and plasma astrophysics that takes advantage of the rapid ongoing progress in instrumentation and computing to advance fundamental understanding of multiscale plasma physics. Read the Editorial: The Way Forward for JPP by Bill Dorland and Alex Schekochihin.

The “Natas” of Visualization 2014
Read moreThe prizes for the winners of the image and video of 2014, the “natas” of visualization, were awarded today to Fabio Cruz (left) and to Paulo Alves (right), with the corresponding iPad Mini. Paulo and Fabio were joined by Thomas Grismayer (last year’s winner, center) and by the rest of GoLP to taste the “natas” of the “Natas”. As one of the 2014 winners (PA) described ““Nata” is a tasty Portuguese pastry that everybody likes. It’s as enjoyable as having our simulations running nicely on a big supercomputer. It can also mean being at the top, at a high level, important.”
