Electric (plasma) propulsion devices have been used for applications such as station-keeping and orbit transfer, in place of chemical rockets, because they provide a higher specific impulse. Detailed ...

China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) reactor, known as the 'Artificial Sun,' achieved a new world record by maintaining a stable, highly confined plasma flow for 1,066 seconds ...

Researchers in the US have revealed that heat does not flow as expected between different materials when they are in a super-hot, ultra-dense state known as high-energy-density plasma. The experiment, ...

Blood flows differently than water. Anyone who has ever cut themselves knows that blood flows viscously and rather erratically. The similarity between blood and ketchup is something not only ...

A helioseismology study maps the flow of plasma inside the Sun and supports a model that also explains the sunspot cycle. The results of a new helioseismology study suggest that the Sun’s meridional ...
