On the other hand, knowing the change in phase-space distribution of the plasma, resolved in velocity and space coordinates, is essential to predict and control the plasma and to realize a fusion ...

University of Iowa scientists helped create instruments for the Voyager, Nasa’s longest mission, in 1977, marking 45 years of space science. When the project started in the 1970s, UI research ...

Solar scientists have unveiled spectacular new images of plasma "rain" in the sun's corona using adaptive optics.

What the research found. Cui specializes in building advanced computer simulations to study how plasma behaves in EP thruster plasma flows. These aren't just any simulations. They're powered by ...

A team of researchers believes the flurry of radio waves emanating from deep space came from a bubble of plasma surrounding a compact object, one of the universe’s densest entities. The waves ...

Watch the plasma fly in space capsule’s dramatic fall to Earth. Varda's W-1 spent 8 months in orbit before recording its entire trip home. By Andrew Paul. Published Feb 29, 2024 4:45 PM EST.

The Pulsed Plasma Rocket could boast 100,000 N of thrust, ... Especially when in the vacuum of space. Specific Impulse is a measurement of "oomph" (not a scientific term) from the fuel used.

Observation of plasma phase-space distribution is an important theme not only in fusion plasmas but also in plasma research on celestial bodies, the sun, and auroras, ...
