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

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...

Low-temperature plasmas are intrinsically non-equilibrium systems in which electromagnetic fields, particle transport, and thermodynamic processes interact ...

Wyoming will gain over 70 minutes of daylight in February as "solar spring" begins, which will make days longer and warmer. Cowboy State Daily’s Andrew Rossi reports that meteorologists say that can ...

Plasma propulsion transforms an inert propellant – often hydrogen – into plasma, a superheated mix of ions and electrons. Magnetic fields then funnel and accelerate the ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder have developed a groundbreaking plasma tunnel to simulate the extreme ...

The extreme conditions spacecraft have to survive to safely reenter Earth's atmosphere have been difficult to reproduce in ...

In the very first moments after the Big Bang, the universe looked nothing like it does today. Instead of stars, atoms, or ...

To help make commercial fusion energy a reality, PPPL leads the StellFoundry project, which uses AI to sift through enormous amounts of data to determine which fusion system configurations are best.

Scientists recreate the early universe to study the first liquid ever formed and uncover how quarks moved through primordial matter.

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 ...

Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists have discovered that the trillion-degree hot primordial "soup" that filled the cosmos for mere millionths ...
