New results from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider show energetic quarks creating wake-like ripples in quark-gluon plasma, ...

Plasma science and technology are undergoing a period of significant growth, supported by advances in plasma sources, high-precision diagnostics, modelling capabilities, and computational tools.

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 study of material plasma exposure experiments and plasma‐material interactions is critical for advancing fusion energy research and the development of next‐generation plasma facing components.

3D spatial tomography estimates the 3D structure of a subject from images taken from multiple directions. On the other hand, newly developed phase-space tomography estimates the plasma phase-space ...

Scientists completed several successful attempts to fire 28 kilojoules of laser energy at small capsules filled with deuterium and tritium fuel, causing the capsules to implode and produce a plasma ...

Voyager 2, an unmanned space probe launched by NASA on August 20, 1977, is equipped with 10 scientific instruments. However, after 47 years of operation, some of the scientific instruments have ...

Plasma happens when gas gets heated to a very high temperature and the atoms lose their electrons. Find out more about this state of matter. Science Trek is available to stream on pbs.org and the free ...
