Recent observations of Jupiter's powerful magnetic field by NASA's Juno spacecraft have uncovered a never-before-documented ...

A study from University of Iowa researchers reveals that the aurora borealis — the northern lights — appear brighter when ...

The solar wind plasma goes from moving at about 400 kilometers per second (900,000 miles per hour) to being diverted and ...

A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.

Another NASA-funded tech demo named Athena EPIC was also aboard the Falcon 9 rocket. Led by NASA's Langley Research Center, ...

Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a novel method for generating ultra-high magnetic fields via ...

Plasma jets reveal magnetic fields far, far away Radio telescope images enable a new way to study magnetic fields in galaxy clusters millions of light years away Date: May 24, 2021 ...

Planetary scientists using NASA’s Juno spacecraft, which is currently orbiting Jupiter, have reported the discovery of a new type of plasma phenomenon. It appears that around the north pole of the gas ...

In order to achieve fusion power generation, it is necessary to confine and maintain high-temperature plasma in a magnetic field. To achieve this, the turbulence that causes the plasma temperature ...

The sun is a roiling, boiling ball of plasma, constantly churning and turning itself inside out as ropes of magnetic-field lines tangle and break at its surface to release tremendous amounts of ...

For the first time, researchers have observed plasma jets interacting with magnetic fields in a massive galaxy cluster 600 million light years away, thanks to the help of radio telescopes and ...
