Scientists using South Africa’s MeerKAT telescope have peered into the interstellar medium like never before, uncovering ...
Astronomers have described the first measurements of plasma layers within an interstellar shock wave that surrounds a pulsar.
Russia has unveiled a new plasma-powered engine that is said to make a trip to Mars possible in 30 days marking a new chapter ...
Once operational, the plasma engine will not replace traditional chemical rockets but will instead take over once a spacecraft reaches orbit. The system could also be used as a space tug ...
The Space Plasma Group at the University of Colorado studies the nonlinear evolution of space and laboratory plasmas driven by electric currents and beams of energetic particles. Recent investigations ...
Phase-space tomography has newly discovered cases where rightward and leftward waves occur simultaneously. Those waves accelerate more particles, which is thought to lead to more efficient plasma ...
A team in Queen Mary University of London’s Astronomy Unit is researching how space plasma behaves, at both a fundamental level and its contribution to space weather. The researchers use data from ...
Even after years of efforts, humans still have not been able to understand the planet and its phenomena. Thus, space as a ...
Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...
This course provides in depth knowledge of space phenomena and physical understanding of the plasma environment form the sun to the earth's ionosphere and in the heliosphere. Regions in space include ...
ISR researchers work closely with the Air Force Research Laboratory supporting the Plasma Chemistry Laboratory and the Space Chemistry Laboratory located at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
