Space plasma physics examines the behaviour of ionised gases in planetary and astrophysical environments where electromagnetic forces dominate over collisional interactions. This field explores ...

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 ...

Space weather events can significantly disrupt the critical infrastructure that underpins our daily lives and the economy. Their impacts include electricity blackouts, loss of radio signals and GPS ...

Space and astrophysical plasma as a physical system refers to ionized gases permeating cosmic environments such as the interstellar and intergalactic medium, stellar winds, accretion disks, and ...

Space Forge has turned a long‑running thought experiment into hardware, generating plasma in low Earth orbit to begin manufacturing semiconductor materials in space. By firing up a compact furnace on ...

Plasma propulsion transforms an inert propellant – often hydrogen – into plasma, a superheated mix of ions and electrons.

It’s not every day a student experiment hitches a ride aboard a NASA rocket, but that’s exactly what a University of Delaware student team achieved earlier this week. The Terrier-Improved Malemute ...

The sky is not the limit for FIU’s space research. In keeping with Florida’s status as a global leader in the aerospace industry, FIU scientists and students are launching cutting-edge technology for ...

Hidden patterns in electric propulsion plasma beams could help ensure the success of long-term space missions. Go faster, farther, more efficiently. That's the goal driving spacecraft propulsion ...

Margaret Mooney is headed for a career that's out of this world, joining the Naval Research Laboratory as an aerospace engineer. KALAMAZOO, Mich.—From a mechanical-minded undergrad with stars in her ...

A new study led by Southwest Research Institute's Dr. Michael Starkey has provided observational evidence from the SwRI-led Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission of pickup ions (PUIs) and associated ...
