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

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 ...

Why it matters: SpiralWave has unveiled groundbreaking technology that converts carbon dioxide into methanol using pulsing plasma waves, achieving unprecedented efficiency rates of up to 90%.

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 ...

These shock waves are born in plasma — a gas of charged particles that can conduct electricity and interact with magnetic fields. The study was based on data from three of NASA’s space-based ...

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 ...

A promising technique for tracking boost-glide hypersonic vehicles involves detecting radio waves emitted by plasma in the wake. Passive detection would be a valuable capability, since existing ...
