Russia's state-owned Rosatom announced a prototype plasma engine which could speed up travel to other planets.

Calculating and visualizing a realistic trajectory of ink spreading through water has been a longstanding and enormous ...

The team tracked the movement of airborne particles around a typical hospital outpatients' clinic at UCLH in central London using an aerosol generator and particle counters 2. A variety of ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an impressive 1,066 seconds. Credit: ...

China’s Hefei Institutes of Physical Science has claimed a new world record for maintaining a steady-state high-confinement plasma operation, a feat needed to create a fusion reactor that in theory ...

These electrons emit radiation as they spin, and this radiation is amplified by wave–particle interactions with other electrons to form chorus waves. Liu et al. showed that the plasma is ...

These bursts of plasma, called chorus waves ... M. Liu et al, Field–particle energy transfer during chorus emissions in space, Nature (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08402-z Richard B.

Scientists in China on a quest to build a nuclear fusion reactor capable of producing unlimited, low-cost energy have achieved a sustained plasma temperature exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius ...

It seemed like the wrong assignment for someone like me. My editor recently asked me to check out Good News Movement, a wildly popular Instagram account started in 2018 by Brookline freelance ...

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 ...

Here’s how it works. China's "artificial sun" reactor has broken its own world record for maintaining super-hot plasma, marking another milestone in the long road towards near-limitless clean ...
