Using the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, scientists have found that the quark-gluon ...

The exhaust heat generated by a fusing plasma in a commercial-scale reactor may not be as damaging to the vessel's innards as once thought, according to new research about escaping plasma particles.

Picture a spacecraft returning to Earth after a long journey. The vehicle slams into the planet's atmosphere at roughly ...

Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder have developed a groundbreaking plasma tunnel to simulate the extreme ...

Chinese scientists have unveiled a superconducting linear plasma device designed to test materials for nuclear fusion reactors. The Superconducting Plasma Wall Interaction Linear Device (SWORD) boasts ...

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

During a close approach to the Sun, the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter watched that tipping point unfold in unusually ...

Close-up observations of the Sun explain how solar flares start, grow, and send high-energy particles racing through space.

This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected through the supposedly last confinement surface into the divertor plasma region. The long and thin lobes ...
