PASADENA, Calif.–Applied physicists at the California Institute of Technology have devised a plasma experiment that shows how huge long, thin jets of material shoot out from exotic astrophysical ...

Much of spacecraft engineering is centered on mitigating the risks that come along with that re-entry process, but there’s one particular aspect of it that has remained a challe ...

A new approach to nuclear fusion is in development, offering a cleaner approach to energy production that could be more affordable too. U.S. researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory are looking ...

Plasma, the electrically charged state of matter that lights up stars and neon signs, has just revealed a subtle effect that had never been directly seen before, yet appears to be woven through much ...

St. Joseph Hospital in Orange this week transfused blood plasma from a man who has recovered from the new coronavirus into a hospitalized patient currently battling that virus, an experiment that ...

Dust is everywhere: under the bed, on the stairs and even inside of plasmas. A team of researchers from Auburn University, the University of Iowa and the University of California, San Diego, using the ...

The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) has begun its 2024 plasma experiments, aiming to secure advanced plasma operation technologies. This year’s experiments will focus on developing ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) recently celebrated 20 years of ESA astronauts living and working on the International Space Station. Since the ESA arrived on the ISS 20 years ago, it has been running ...
