Watch the moment SpaceX’s Starship rocket is enveloped by plasma as it re-entered Earth’s atmosphere on Thursday 14 March. The world’s biggest rocket was launched from Texas in its third - and most ...

Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) plasma research represents a compelling avenue in the quest for practical magnetic fusion energy. In an FRC, the plasma itself generates a self-organised magnetic ...

Earth’s magnetic bubble, the invisible shield that normally deflects charged particles from the Sun, briefly shrank to a ...

Nobody ever said the Light Saber was a practical weapon – it's no match for a good blaster, if you ask me – but it exerts a powerful fascination. Special Operations Command have "completed ongoing ...

Reversed field pinch (RFP) plasma physics is a distinctive branch of magnetic confinement research that explores self-organised plasma equilibria in which the toroidal magnetic field reverses in the ...

"Research is advancing to efficiently confine ... and harness its immense energy." Scientists make 'world-first discovery' ...

GFEAs are crucial components in advanced microwave vacuum electron devices and vacuum transistors — tiny devices that can ...

Professor Satoshi Fujii (Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology) and Assistant Professor Jun Fukushima (Department of Applied Chemistry, ...

Dr. Alexander Fridman, the John A. Nyheim Chair Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics and a pioneer of plasma technology, has been awarded the 2019 Plasma Chemistry Award ...

The twisting loops of the sun’s magnetic field control the flow of charged particles throughout the solar system. For the first time, researchers have created a scale model of this mysterious ...
