In a comprehensive experimental study, an international team of researchers has confirmed the calculations of a leading ...

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule ...

Howard explains how he used high-resolution simulations of the swirling structures present in plasma, called turbulence, to confirm that the world's largest experimental fusion device, currently ...

Plasma instability can be caused by magnetic fields, temperature, and any other conditions that cause turbulence among particles. For optimal plasma control, a tokamak should not malfunction from ...

There are some potentially valid criticism about the Nuclear Salt Water Rocket (NSWR). The criticisms highlight real physical ...

Researchers discover collisionless shock waves as cosmic engines accelerating subatomic particles in space to extreme speeds.

The disc of plasma surrounding the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way is constantly emitting flares both large and small.

Astronomers using a cutting-edge adaptive optics instrument, MagAO-X, have captured unprecedented images of young planets ...
