Inspired by Iron Man’s Arc Reactor, we created a real-life ionized plasma generator—and it’s as close to sci-fi as you can get. This isn’t just a glowing prop; it’s a functioning tech piece producing ...

A study revealed that an ionized gas jet blowing onto water, also known as a 'plasma jet', produces a more stable interaction with the water's surface compared to a neutral gas jet. This finding will ...

At the same time, a current of cold electrons travels toward the heated plasma from the opposite direction. When the two meet, the plasma develops filament-shaped instabilities that SLAC’s facilities ...

Plasma physics is the research area devoted to the theoretical, computational, and experimental study of ionized gases in which collective electromagnetic interactions dominate particle dynamics. It ...

A grape, sliced nearly in half and placed in a household microwave, can produce a bright flash of plasma, the same high-energy state of matter found in lightning bolts and the surface of the sun. For ...

Abstract: This seminar will cover an overview of current and future research objectives as well as several newly commissioned plasma tunnels for hypersonic applications in the Magnetoaerodynamics and ...

Particle accelerators, like the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, allow scientists to study the most fundamental particles, but they operate on a massive scale. The tunnel that houses ...
