Light sometimes appears to be "dragged" by the motion of the medium through which it is traveling. This phenomenon, referred ...

Instead of a tempest in a teapot, imagine the cosmos in a canister. Scientists have performed experiments using nested, ...

Once inside, the diborane decomposes and deposits on the plasma-facing walls via a glow-discharge-assisted method, where a ...

When asked what propelled him to success, recent Kennesaw State University graduate Micah Holston cited the influence of his ...

During those very early moments of the universe, things were extraordinarily hot, and quark-gluon plasma behaves in strange ways when super-heated. This is because high temperatures will bring on ...

Sedna will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2076, giving us a rare opportunity to visit the planetoid before it drifts ...

Breakthroughs from two rival experiments, Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X and the Joint European Torus, suggest the elusive dream ...

At the Columbia Plasma Physics Lab, researchers are tackling one of the most pressing challenges in creating clean energy: making nuclear fusion a viable power source.

As the name suggests, plasma physics concerns the physical properties of plasmas. With increasing temperature, all materials are transformed successively from the solid, to liquid and then gaseous ...

Providing capabilities found nowhere else in the world as it probes the physics behind magnetic reconnection, the Facility ...

Physicists have set a new upper bound on the interaction strength of dark matter by simulating the collision of two clouds of interstellar plasma. The result, from researchers at Ruhr University ...
