A twisting, whirling streamer of plasma escaping the sun in the aftermath of a coronal mass ejection (CME) has been captured ...

How can Uranus be used to indirectly study its moons and identify if they possess subsurface oceans? This is what a recent ...

For the first time, a giant helical structure spanning millions of kilometers has been captured on camera as it emerged from ...

Source: U. of Iowa. The instrument that made the discovery, the Plasma Wave Subsystem (PWS), can trace its lineage back at least as far as 1958. That’s when Donald Gurnett, an electrical ...

As Earth's orbit becomes populated with more crafts and devices, researchers are looking for ways to detect and track ...

Planetary Radio Astronomy (PRA) and Plasma Wave Antennas (PWS)* The PRA used the two antennas to measure radio waves emitted by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, revealing details about the ...

Our goal is to study particle beam acceleration in strong plasma waves that are generated by the passage of a dense particle beam or an intense laser pulse in a scheme known as plasma wakefield ...

This challenge may now have been met. Electron cyclotron waves not only provide a useful means of heating an ITER-scale fusion plasma, but are expected to play a key role in controlling ...
