Some U.S. states could be treated with a northern lights display due a minor geomagnetic storm on the sun, according to space ...

The plasma channel directs the laser energy much like a fiber-optic cable guides light, keeping the laser pulse focused over longer distances. In the past, researchers shaped the plasma using ...

Summary: Researchers at the University of Ottawa have developed innovative methods to control the ionization of atoms and ...

The same phenomenon that forms the Northern Lights could change modern agriculture as we know it by replacing chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Researchers from the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment ...

The same substance that paints the sky with the Northern Lights also appears to enhance plant growth and insect defense, according to a new study. Food science and entomology researchers from the ...

Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter ... This so-called ionization can also be achieved using high-power laser light or microwaves. Plasmas are found naturally in stars and in space.

Researchers have developed innovative methods to control the ionization of atoms and molecules using specially structured light beams, challenging traditional limits. This breakthrough could lead to ...

Known as the fourth state of matter, plasma is an electrically charged gas that has fluid-like behavior. Rahman points to the Northern Lights as the most familiar example of cold plasma ...
