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 ...

A key component of a system that would deliver fusion energy in the U.S. has arrived at Commonwealth Fusion Systems' (CFS) ...

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 ...

Imagine a cloud that shines like a neon sign, but instead of raindrops, it contains countless microscopic dust grains ...

The sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma, called coronal mass ejections (CMEs), into space. They often occur ...

Plasma ejections from young stars may offer valuable insights into the Sun’s early history. Most of the time, we hardly notice it from Earth, but the Sun is constantly hurling vast clouds of charged ...

Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New ...

For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy ...

The video was recorded by Varda Space Industries ( @VardaSpace ), which is a privately held American space research company.

The study of energetic particles and Alfvén eigenmodes is central to understanding plasma behaviour in both laboratory fusion devices and natural astrophysical settings. These high-energy particles, ...

Space weather isn’t referring to rain clouds that float through the galaxy. Instead, it’s caused by massive explosions of particles that shoot out from the Sun.
