As a result, it became possible for the first time in the world to measure the plasma phase-space distribution at a high speed of 10,000 Hz (10,000 times per second).

Maybe you've already seen the figures for the Pulsed Plasma Rocket (PPR): 100,000 N (73,756 lbf) of thrust and specific impulse of 5,000. For those of us that aren't rocket scientists, those ...

It took less than 30 minutes for Varda Space Industries’ W-1 capsule to leave its orbital home of eight months and plummet back to Earth. Such a short travel time not only required serious speed ...

A team of researchers believes the flurry of radio waves emanating from deep space came from a bubble of plasma surrounding a compact object, one of the universe’s densest entities.

Space plasma physics examines the behaviour of ionised gases in planetary and astrophysical environments where electromagnetic forces dominate over collisional interactions. This field explores ...

Travelling at about 38,000 mph, Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause in August 2012. After entering interstellar space, the spacecraft’s Plasma Wave System detected perturbations in the gas.

The research team created a spinning disk of plasma that mimics the superheated gas in accretion disks that gradually feed black holes. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
