At night, charged particles from the sun caught by Earth's magnetosphere rain down into the atmosphere. The impacting ...

Phase-space tomography has newly discovered cases where rightward and leftward waves occur simultaneously. Those waves accelerate more particles, which is thought to lead to more efficient plasma ...

Go faster, farther, more efficiently.That's the goal driving spacecraft propulsion engineers like Chen Cui , a new assistant professor at the ...

The Space Plasma Group at the University of Colorado studies the nonlinear evolution of space and laboratory plasmas driven by electric currents and beams of energetic particles. Recent investigations ...

NASA's nuclear propulsion breakthrough promises Mars trips in 45 days. Combining nuclear and plasma systems boosts efficiency ...

They also devised a series of space radio and plasma wave experiments, in part to explore natural very-low-frequency (VLF) phenomena known as sferics, like whistlers and the “dawn chorus”.

Heating plasma to the ultra-high temperatures needed for fusion reactions requires more than turning the dial on a thermostat ...

Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

Each weapon type has its own range of perks. The perks for the Heavy Plasma Incinerator range are listed below; ...

On the other hand, newly developed phase-space tomography estimates the plasma phase-space distribution by combining data obtained from highly resolved measurements in (A) velocity versus space ...

High-powered plasma weapon. Can be charged. The Heavy Plasma Incinerator is the bigger, meaner brother of the Plasma Incinerator. It's got a strong Firepower rating and reliable Range and Accuracy.
