Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific ...

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

For the first time, scientists have 'photographed' a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into spaghetti-like filaments. A new study, published in Physical Review Letters, ...

A research group has achieved a new plasma confinement regime using small 3D magnetic perturbations that simultaneously ...

The system was originally scheduled to begin operations in 2025, but that timeline has been extended by about 10 years. The researchers are presenting their findings this week at the 66th Annual ...

To harness the forces that power the Sun, researchers heat fuel to such a high temperature that atoms melt into electrons and nuclei to form a hot, gaseous soup called plasma. The plasma can rip ...

Russian scientists say they are closing in on a propulsion breakthrough that could compress the journey from Earth to Mars from roughly 300 days to about one month. The project centers on a high power ...
