Dreamworks’ live-action How to Train Your Dragon has introduced the franchise and its lovable lead Toothless to a whole new ...

Conventional accelerators use oscillating electric fields to drive charged particles to relativistic speeds. The Large Hadron ...

Watch us build a prototype lightsaber that uses 4000 °C plasma for a fully retractable blade, diving into the science behind the heat, the mechanism that extends and retracts the blade, and a full ...

Our latest plasma lightsaber build takes things to the extreme — 4500° of raw heat, insane visuals, and the deadliest cut yet.

The mission observed the eruption in near-ultraviolet light. The plasma reached speeds of up to 1,500 kilometers per second. This data is crucial for understanding space weather.

Milestone 10-GeV experiment shines light on laser-plasma interactions Date: December 11, 2024 Source: DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Summary: With dual lasers, researchers have ...

Here, the Sun’s UV light knocks electrons loose from atoms, forming a diffuse layer of ions extending from 50 to 400 miles above the surface.

The employed technique, Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy, can analyze the smallest amounts of plasma in less than a second, making it a promising method for monitoring severely ill patients.

As such, plasma in some ways offered a more impressive technology than LCD, which does use a backlight. It could offer better contrast ratio (deeper blacks because its cells could simply turn off) and ...

Light can also help heat the plasma within ring-shaped devices known as tokamaks as scientists worldwide strive to harness the fusion process to generate green electricity.
