Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have uncovered a process in the swirling masses of plasmasurrounding black holes and neutron starsthat ...

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

A number of concepts exist for exploiting the solar wind as a means of propulsion: the MagSail, the e-sail, and the plasma magnet. All of these concepts work predominately as drag devices and thus are ...

Creating heat from fusion reactions requires carefully manipulating the properties of plasma, the electrically charged fourth state of matter that makes up 99% of the visible universe. Now, scientists ...

Plasma has long been treated as an exotic laboratory curiosity, yet a new world-first result is forcing scientists to look at this fiery state of matter as something far more familiar. By uncovering a ...

A team of researchers from the Max Born Institute (MBI) in Berlin and DESY in Hamburg has demonstrated a plasma lens capable of focusing attosecond pulses. This breakthrough substantially increases ...

We were already considering ordering one of those plasma light bulbs we showed you the other day, and now we see this Coke bottle that also does the plasma trick. The ...
