Strange events at the heart of the Milky Way could point toward a new dark suspect that annihilates to influence the chemistry of the cosmos.

Plasma is in fact called “the fourth state of matter” along with solids, liquids and gases. It consists of a fully ionized or partially ionized gas, containing ions, electrons and neutral atoms. At ...

For a supernova to leave behind a remnant, the dying star must be surrounded by ionized gases — conditions typically found in dense, star-forming regions, not in the outer reaches of a galaxy.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope unveils 10 stunning images of forming stars, capturing mesmerising details of their birth, chaotic outflows, and glowing cosmic clouds in space.

Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton telescope have made an unexpected discovery—two supernova remnants ...

A revolutionary nuclear electric propulsion (NEP) system is being developed to cut Mars travel time, using ionized gases and a nuclear reactor to generate efficient, long-duration thrust.

Plasma cutting, a highly efficient and precise process that utilizes a high-velocity jet of ionized gas (plasma) proved to be ...

In this process, a jet of plasma or ionized gas is ejected at high speeds, which melts and subsequently removes unwanted parts of materials from electrically conductive workpieces such as metals. The ...
