Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific understanding of how stars, nuclear detonations and fusion energy work. For ...

Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, physicists use a law known as the Boltzmann distribution, which, rather than ...

A coronal mass ejection could interact with the Earth, causing geomagnetic storms and making the aurora potentially visible ...

Low-temperature plasmas are intrinsically non-equilibrium systems in which electromagnetic fields, particle transport, and thermodynamic processes interact ...

Russia is once again trying to vault itself to the front of the space race, this time with a plasma engine that officials say ...
