or lasers to do that – even sound can be used to manipulate electric charges to behave how we wish, new research has revealed. Researchers looked at electric sparks, chaotic releases of plasma ...

and the resulting rapid changes in the volume of plasma creates a sound. The value of a plasma speaker lies in the exceptionally low size and mass of the element producing the sound, meaning that ...

One such is the plasma tweeter, a type of loudspeaker which generates sound by modulating a small electrical discharge. The benefit of this design comes in its delivering the closest possible to a ...

The idea of firing an intense laser beam into a thundercloud to induce lightning and guide it back to a preferred location on the ground may sound far ... which generated a plasma spark but ...

hypersonic vehicles using laser-induced plasma offer unparalleled speed and maneuverability. They can execute abrupt changes in trajectory at speeds greater than five times the speed of sound ...

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) involves a laser ablation procedure, where a laser pulse interacts with a material surface to induce the formation of a plasma plume that expands away from the surface.
