The Highest Resolution Image Ever Taken of the Sun

The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) recently took its first image which reveals an unprecedented level of details. These images provide a close-up view of the turbulent plasma arranged in a pattern of cell-like structures.

Exotic matter uncovered in the sun's atmosphere

The new research has shed new light on the exotic but poorly understood 'fourth state of matter,' known as plasma, which could hold the key to developing safe, clean and efficient nuclear energy generators on Earth.

World's fastest water heater - 100,000 degrees in a tenth of a picosecond

Scientists have used a powerful X-ray laser for an experimental set-up that produced an exotic state of water. Researchers hope to learn more about the peculiar characteristics of Earth's most important liquid.

The World’s First Nuclear Fusion Plant Nears Completion

Nuclear fusion promises to be a clean source of energy, but it is expensive, technologically complex, and far from being deployed on a commercial scale.

Plasma Rock is a new material made from 100% recycled landfill waste

Conceptual and material designer Inges Luijs has found an innovative way to turn landfill material into eco-friendly consumer goods using plasma rock.

"Star in a Jar" Fusion Reactor Works and Promises Infinite Energy

New tests verify that Germany's Wendelstein 7-X fusion energy device is on track to safely suspend plasma in magnetic fields.

New record for fusion: Giant leap in pursuit of clean energy

Scientists and engineers recently made a leap forward in the pursuit of clean energy. The team set a new world record for plasma pressure which is the key ingredient to producing energy from nuclear fusion, and MIT
