In a paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, an international team of physicists proposes a new strategy for searching for hypothetical...
A team of researchers from the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington proposes a new model of plasma motion that would...
Astronomers using the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope network have detected a vast ridge of radio emission connecting the merging galaxy clusters...
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), often associated with solar flares, are the most powerful magnetic phenomena occurring on the Sun. Now, astronomers using...
A team of physicists from the University of Rochester and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has found a way to turn liquid metallic deuterium...
As strong impulses strike the Earth’s magnetopause, the abrupt boundary between the planet’s magnetosphere and the surrounding plasma, ripples travel...
Plasmas are naturally formed at high temperatures, such as those reached in the interiors of stars. Neutral plasmas consist of equal numbers of positive...
A group of astronomers at the University of Toronto in Canada has performed one of the highest resolution observations in the history of astronomy by observing...
A new study indicates that solar tornadoes may have been misnamed because scientists have so far only been able to observe them using 2D images.
Composite...
The long-standing mystery of why comets give off X-ray emission has been solved by a group of experimental physicists led by the University of Oxford,...
Using the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico and the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, astronomers have gained new insight into the extreme home of...
A study published in the journal Plasma Sources Science and Technology argues that Mars, with its 96% carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere, has nearly ideal...
Non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma jets are a promising mode of treating a variety of afflictions. However, unpredictable turbulence in the plasma...
A Princeton-led team of researchers has discovered a revolutionary way to generate high-energy shock waves in the lab.
Peering deep into the core of the...
The details of the transition from defined rays in the upper atmosphere of the Sun to the solar wind have always been a mystery. Using NASA’s STEREO...
Scientists using the Murchison Widefield Array in the Western Australian desert have confirmed the existence of tubular plasma structures between the plasmasphere...
