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.
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.
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.
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.
Conceptual and material designer Inges Luijs has found an innovative way to turn landfill material into eco-friendly consumer goods using plasma rock.
New tests verify that Germany's Wendelstein 7-X fusion energy device is on track to safely suspend plasma in magnetic fields.
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
Tuning cold plasma can either promote or inhibit bone formation.
