Reactor-scale magnets successfully contained 100 million-degree Fahrenheit plasma, edging commercial fusion energy a step ...

Using measurements of the four ESA’s Cluster satellites, a study published this week in Nature Physics shows pioneering experimental evidence of magnetic reconnection also in turbulent ‘plasma’ around ...

Even though Earth’s magnetic field shields us from solar wind and space weather–it doesn’t always offer complete protection. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism in Earth’s space environment ...

The fusion created by magnetically confined plasma is a promising clean and essentially unlimited future energy source. However, there are important problems hindering controlled fusion like the ...

When a high-intensity laser interacts with plasma, the charged particles typically oscillate back and forth like waves on the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, scientists have been working to develop reactors that can achieve fusion to meet the increasing need for clean and ...

Although the idea of containing a plasma within a magnetic field seems straightforward at first, plasmas are highly dynamic systems that will happily escape magnetic confinement if given half a chance ...

Astrophysical magnetic fields shape the dynamics of various astrophysical phenomena, from the formation of stars and galaxies to the acceleration of cosmic rays and the generation of powerful ...

How fast can a galaxy build ordered magnetic fields spanning thousands of light-years? Existing theories say several billion years, but observations of galaxies in our universe imply shorter ...
