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

Ninety-nine per cent of visible matter in the Universe is plasma. This fourth fundamental state of matter is important not just because it is so commonly found, but also because plasma ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from the US have marked the collider's 25th and final year by smashing together gold nuclei traveling near the ...

In addition to literally shedding new light on the processes by which high harmonics are generated by high-intensity laser–matter interactions ... potential of the plasma-mirror concept.

Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider kicked off its final year of operations this week, marking a ...

Plasma — sometimes referred to as the fourth state of matter — is matter that is so hot that the electrons are pulled away forming an ionized gas. That sounds exotic compared to gasses ...

The new plasma rocket engine is poised to accelerate ... "In traditional engines, the maximum lapse rate of matter is about 4.5 km/s due to the conditions of fuel combustion.

The reactor, called Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), is General Fusion’s latest iteration in a string of devices that have tested various parts of its unique approach.
