Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) have developed a new portable plasma device ...

In this process, a jet of plasma or ionized gas is ejected at high speeds, which melts and subsequently removes unwanted parts of materials from electrically conductive workpieces such as metals.

The biggest of these is keeping the heated fusion plasma — a charged gas composed of ions and free electrons in which the reaction takes place — at over 100 million degrees Celsius, confining its ...

A promising technique for tracking boost-glide hypersonic vehicles involves detecting radio waves emitted by plasma in the wake. Passive detection would be a valuable capability, since existing ...

"The results showed that functionalizing graphene structures with plasma generated noble materials with a superior NH 3 gas-sensing performance compared with pristine graphene," concludes Assoc.

In a nonequilibrium plasma, the electrons behave very differently from the heavy species, for example having a much higher temperature. In the systems we study in NGPDL, there may be further forms of ...

Now, researchers have developed an improved gas-sensing technology by treating graphene sheets with plasma under different conditions, creating structural and chemical defects that enhance ammonia ...

Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter – along with solids, liquids and gas – in which there is a significant portion of charged particles as ions or electrons. Plasma engines ...

Coal and natural gas emit carbon dioxide. Solar and wind are intermittent ... Last week, however, a team in France got a step closer when they kept a plasma reaction going for longer than ever before.

A plasma instability has been photographed for the first time, showcasing electron beams forming spaghetti-like filaments.
