Researchers have discovered a new type of plasma oscillation that behaves unlike anything seen before. These plasma waves can move independently of the plasma’s physical properties, even faster than ...

Researchers have experimentally generated high-density relativistic electron-positron pair-plasma beams by producing two to three orders of magnitude more pairs than previously reported. Black holes ...

Please see the full solicitation for complete information about the funding opportunity. Below is a summary assembled by the Research & Innovation Office (RIO). The objective of this program is to ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will conduct the Decadal Assessment of Plasma Science with support from the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the Air ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

Some shrimp have a secret superpower: Snapping their claws unleashes bubbles that produce plasma and shock waves to stun prey. Now a 3-D printed replica claw has reproduced the phenomenon in the lab, ...

Plasma processing technologies are of vital importance to several of the largest manufacturing industries in the world. Foremost among these industries is the electronics industry, in which ...

Capturing lightning in a bottle is the very definition of a tough task, but now physicists have found a way to contain ultracold plasma in a magnetic bottle trap, a breakthrough that could bring ...

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 ...
