A research team presents an AI assessor for Hall-effect ion thrusters, the engines of satellites and space probes.

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule.

In physics, the term "isotropy" means a system where the properties are the same in all directions. For fusion, neutron ...

Giant radio galaxies (GRGs) are massive, with plasma jets powered by supermassive black holes at their centers, stretching ...

To improve data storage, researchers are perfecting 3D NAND flash memory, which stacks cells to maximize space. Researchers ...

A Hall thruster is a high-efficiency propulsion device using plasma that is used for various difficult space missions, such ...

SMART (Small Aspect Ratio Tokamak), the world’s only fusion reactor with ‘negative triangularity’ constructed at the University of Sevilla in Spain, produced its first plasma. This is an important ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak sets a new record with 1,066 seconds of steady-state high-confinement plasma, advancing fusion power research.
