In fusion power generation, it is essential that the high-energy particles generated by a fusion reaction in hot plasma heat it to sustain further fusion reactions. The key to this self-heating of the ...

The generation of fusion energy utilizes the fusion reaction that occurs inside a high-temperature plasma. In order to achieve the generation of fusion energy, we confine plasma in the magnetic field ...

Defense scientists in China have discovered a way to make high-altitude drones more efficient using plasma excitation technology. This technology manipulates airflow using electrically charged ...

Chinese scientists have unveiled a superconducting linear plasma device designed to test materials for nuclear fusion reactors. The Superconducting Plasma Wall Interaction Linear Device (SWORD) boasts ...

The ionized gas that is used in this process, however, might actually increase the likelihood that a chip will be contaminated with dust. When random dust particles from the air enter the gas, they ...

Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit. An international team of researchers has shown that low-mass dark-sector particles, such ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

In a bushfire or campfire, it is the glowing soot that we experience as flames. Flames actually extend well above where we ...

New simulations have combined decades-old theories to provide new insight about the driving mechanisms in plasma jets that allows them to steal energy from black holes' powerful gravitational fields ...
