INL’s Teton supercomputer open for business
Idaho National Laboratory has brought its newest high‑performance supercomputer, named Teton, online and made it available to users through the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Science User Facilities program. The system, now the flagship machine in the lab’s Collaborative Computing Center, quadruples INL’s total computing capacity and enters service as the 85th fastest supercomputer in the world.

A new structure of RF control of plasma for electric propulsion has been proposed. With excitation characteristics of a helical antenna and propagation characteristics of waves with rotating field, both plasma production and ion heating will be expected simultaneously by employing a single helical antenna. Basic experiments to examine the proposed structure have been performed, showing consistent results with expected scenario.
