Microscopic turbulence in plasma can trigger macroscopic structural changes. In complex physical systems, such cross-scale ...

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule. This ...

This e-learning book is based on the lectures given at the Joint ICTP-IAEA College on Plasma Physics.The main goal of the college has been to familiarize and train advanced students and young ...

Plasma founder Paul Faecks denied insider selling accusations after XPL plunged over 50%, insisting no team tokens were sold ...

Please join the Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology on Thursday, October 16 at 11am for the talk "Plasma Bubbles in the Earth's Ionosphere: Theory and Observations" by Giorgio Picanco of ...

Advanced mirror technology can reduce the intensity of artefacts in the output of high-power laser systems by a factor of 10,000, enabling significantly greater control in the development of ...

Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to become free from atoms. This state of matter has been the focus of many ...

Atoms in crystalline solids sometimes vibrate in unison, giving rise to emergent phenomena known as phonons. Because these collective vibrations set the pace for how heat and energy move through ...

Five hundred years ago, the Aztec civilization in today’s Mexico believed that the sun and all its power was sustained by blood from human sacrifice. Today, we know that the sun, along with all other ...

A team of South Korean researchers has delivered experimental proof of "multi-scale coupling" in plasma, demonstrating how microscopic events can lead to big changes in this state of matter, ...

In this episode of the Physics World Stories podcast, Rosemary Coogan offers a glimpse into life as one of the European Space Agency’s newest astronauts. Selected as part of ESA’s 2022 cohort, she ...

The double helix nebula. The spots are infrared-luminous stars, mostly red giants and red supergiants. Many other stars are present in this region, but are too dim to appear even in this sensitive ...
