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

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

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

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 ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

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.

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 ...

Plasma propulsion transforms an inert propellant – often hydrogen – into plasma, a superheated mix of ions and electrons. Magnetic fields then funnel and accelerate the ...

Scientists recreate the early universe to study the first liquid ever formed and uncover how quarks moved through primordial matter.

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 ...
