Astronomers have finally solved a year-long mystery that had them baffled after discovering a mysterious signal. Australian ...

OverviewThe 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 ...

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, ...

The study went on to note that a cause for the pulse could have been that it was struck by a small piece of space rock, known ...

What you’re looking at is a slice of the roiling, chaotic stuff between stars—the magnetised dust and gases that make up the ...

Space plasma physics examines the behaviour of ionised gases in planetary and astrophysical environments where electromagnetic forces dominate over collisional interactions.

A UK-built spacecraft engine that runs on metal is preparing for its first test in space, in a mission that could pave the ...

A solar wind event squashed the protective bubble around Uranus just before Voyager 2 flew by the planet in 1986, shifting how astronomers understood the mysterious world.

Oleg Batishchev designed the light, cheap Mini-Helicon Plasma Thruster for deep space travel. The engine relies simply on the acceleration of plasma, a gaseous cloud in which atoms have been stripp ...

NJEDA partners with SOSV, PPPL to launch HAX Plasma Forge in Princeton, aiming to commercialize plasma research and grow NJ's tech economy.

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 ...
