The ALICE Collaboration takes a step further in addressing the question of whether a quark–gluon plasma can be formed in proton–proton and proton–nucleus collisions. In the first few microseconds ...

Sometime last year, I got really interested in microwave plasma, which can be made from a lot of things like lit matches, aluminum foil or just some grapes. However, when I went searching for more ...

When high-voltage electricity breaks out in open air, it rips through the atmosphere, forming chaotic, branching fingers of electric plasma. These electrical arcs are difficult to control. They branch ...

New faculty member Anton Artemyev is bringing his award-winning research in space physics to The University of Texas at Arlington, strengthening the University’s growing presence in space science and ...

Japan’s QST Institute is fast-tracking a 2038 prototype fusion reactor, leveraging a smaller design and JT-60SA research.

The Uncertainty Engine is guiding research in fusion plasma physics. Could similar approaches benefit fission research as well?

In the summer of 1999, Doc Bugg fielded my telephone inquiry seeking the fundamental law of matter and motion involving the depth of penetration of one object into another. It’s a simple principle, he ...

How fast can a galaxy build ordered magnetic fields spanning thousands of light-years? Existing theories say several billion years, but observations of galaxies in our universe imply shorter ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

Scientists studying particle collisions at CERN have captured new evidence of how quarks move through the early universe’s primordial plasma.

Purdue University makes history as the first US academic institution to provide students with onsite access to tabletop fusion technology.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up ...
