Nathaniel J. Fisch
Nathaniel Joseph Fisch is an American plasma physicist known for pioneering the excitation of electric currents in plasma (physics), plasmas using electromagnetic waves, which was then used in tokamak experiments. This contributed to an increased understanding of waves in plasmas, plasma wave–particle interactions in the field for which he was awarded the James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics in 2005 and the Hannes Alfvén Prize in 2015. Fisch's research also involve inertial confinement fusion, inertial fusion, as well as methods to generate intensive laser fields to particle acceleration, accelerate particles, such as the ones used in plasma thrusters. He is also known to have worked on the hydrodynamics of charged liquids, petroleum refinement, and pattern recognition. Early life and career Fisch studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (as MIT National Scholar 1968 to 1972), where he received his bachelor's and master's degree in 1972 and 1975 respectivel ...

The presence of these charged particles is what primarily sets plasma apart from the other fundamental states of matter. It is the most abundant form of
