Breakthroughs from two rival experiments, Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X and the Joint European Torus, suggest the elusive dream ...

In a review just published in Nature Materials, researchers take aim at the oldest principle in electronics: Ohm's law.

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

The Star Wars franchise depicts the adventures of characters "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away",[5] in which humans ...

A new type of plasma limiter is being developed which can turn on in less than 1 ns. The approach taken is to initiate streamer breakdown via a micron radius needle tip. Images were taken of the gap ...

Read other stories from the project here. Since 2019, a small team in the University of Michigan’s Urban Collaboratory has been pioneering the use of plasma treatments to break down per- and ...

3 Results and discussion In this article, we compared the optical breakdown of water and ethanol, and observed the characteristics of shock waves using different energies and delay times. The ...

A plasma model is presented for the formation of ``cathode spots'' and subsequent crater development near field emission sites on a copper surface in the presence of a strong dc electric field. Adding ...

Addressing these issues motivates the theory, simulation, and experiments of electrical breakdown and discharge plasma from submillimeter to nanometer scales to guide and optimize device design and ...

Physicists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have proposed that the formation of "hills and valleys" in magnetic field lines could be the source of sudden collapses of heat ahead of ...
