As the plasma compressed, it could have amplified that initial field into the strengths that astronomers see today. Although this hypothesis is interesting, it has a major problem: We don't yet ...

As to what is termed a “force field,” one can turn to plasma physics. Plasmas are gases where the atoms are highly ionized—that is, the atoms either have too many or not enough electrons ...

The plasma’s temperature and density help deflect and absorb the shockwaves from the explosion. In the patent illustration, the force field protects a military HMMWV, ...

Boeing has been granted a patent for a force field-like defense system, leading excited sci-fi fans to herald the advent of something previously seen only in the realms of “Star Wars” or ...

The Air Force is testing a plasma reactor to destroy harmful chemical compounds in contaminated groundwater. The manmade compounds, which are called per- and polyfluoroalykyl substances, or PFAS ...

Hot plasma explosions inflate Saturn's magnetic field Date: December 16, 2010 Source: NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory Summary: A new analysis based on data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft finds a ...

This is far stronger than the magnetic field of the Earth, which is 0.3–0.5 × 10 –4 T, and substantially exceeds the fields produced in magnetic tomography (MRI) machines (about 1 T). While fields in ...

Boeing Is Working on a Real-Life Force Field The plasma shield outlined in a Boeing patent would protect a vehicle against shockwaves from explosions By John Wenz Published: Mar 23, 2015 10:40 AM EDT ...
