Description

PlasmaPy is an open source Python package for plasma research and education.

Notes

Early development on PlasmaPy was partially supported by the U.S. Department of Energy through grant DE-SC0016363 that was funded through the NSF-DOE Partnership on Basic Plasma Science and Engineering; a Scholarly Studies grant awarded by the Smithsonian Institution; Google Summer of Code; and NASA Heliophysics Data Environment Enhancements (HDEE) grant 80NSSC20K0174.
