For the first time, scientists have 'photographed' a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into ...

The idea behind the newer, more powerful beams was pretty simple ... or perhaps producing new kinds of plasma or revealing more about the nature of empty space.

Research in plasma physics is extraordinarily broad, encompassing basic physics of plasmas, fusion sciences, space and astrophysics, beam and accelerator physics, laser-matter interactions, and ...

A paper published in Geophysical Research Letters emphasizes how these electrons, and their variation within that region, shape the plasma environment ... intense electron beams within the Alfvén ...

ISR researchers work closely with the Air Force Research Laboratory supporting the Plasma Chemistry Laboratory and the Space Chemistry Laboratory located at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
