Astronomers recently used computer simulations to study the rise and fall of gargantuan tides on a distant massive star. 160,000 light years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, MACHO 80.7443.1718 is ...

One of the most critical challenges in realizing nuclear fusion is the confinement of plasmas, which are the ultra-hot, ionized gases where fusion reactions occur. “Achieving high confinement is key ...

IOWA CITY, Iowa — A University of Iowa researcher is part of an international team that has identified a never-before-seen plasma wave high above Jupiter’s north pole. The wave, called the ...

There are waves on Jupiter, but not exactly the kind surfers can ride. These plasma waves are much more intense than anything that crashes onto a beach. NASA’s Juno spacecraft keeps coming across ...

In fusion power generation, it is essential that the high-energy particles generated by a fusion reaction in hot plasma heat it to sustain further fusion reactions. The key to this self-heating of the ...

NASA is always keen to highlight the space agency’s many successes, and rightly so — those who pay for these expensive projects have a right to know what they’re getting for their money. And so the ...

information about the interaction between our nearest star — the Sun — and planet Earth. As they sail through the sea of plasma (electrons and protons) that fills near-Earth space, the identical ...

Magnetised plasma dynamics and wave interactions constitute a pivotal research area that bridges fundamental physics and practical applications ranging from fusion energy to space and astrophysical ...
